Metro: Reds eye Sporting star

Liverpool have reportedly been scouting Sporting Lisbon ace William Carvalho again ahead of a possible summer transfer.

The Reds were strongly linked with a move for Carvalho in January, and while no deal happened then, they are keeping tabs on his progress.

After a scouting mission last month, Sporting Witness quote reports in Portugal saying Liverpool chiefs were present on Sunday night to watch the Porto clash, with Carvalho in their sights.

Arsenal are also known to be keen on the powerful midfielder, who would be an expensive buy given his £37.5million release clause.
