LIVERPOOL are reportedly among a trio of Premier League clubs who have made contact with Watford winger Ismaila Sarr.
The 22-year-old impressed Jurgen Klopp after putting in a man-of-the-match performance during the Hornets’ 3-0 win over the Reds in February.

The winger scored a quick-fire double before Troy Deeney notched to hand Liverpool their first league defeat of the season and end their hopes of emulating Arsenal’s Invincibles campaign.

According to the Watford Observer, Liverpool have made contact with the attacker’s agent as they look to test the club’s resolve.
A switch to Anfield would see Sarr reunite with fellow Senegal international and friend Sadio Mane.
The Liverpool ace famously urged Watford captain Deeney to look after the player after the two sides faced each other at Anfield in December.
Wolves are also said to be interested in the former Rennes star, but would only make their move if Adama Traore is prized away from the club.
Likewise, SunSport previously revealed that Crystal Palace want Sarr to fill the boots of Wilfried Zaha — if their talisman is sold this summer.
The Eagles are keen on the Watford speedster and would smash their record fee for him with a £40million offer.
Sarr was on Palace’s radar a year ago when Hornets splashed out £30m to bring him from the French league.
