Reds and Swansea race for young 'keeper
Liverpool and Swansea are set to go head-to-head in a race to sign Standard Liege goalkeeper Guillaume Hubert, according to reports.
The 21-year-old has attracted interest from a number of Premier League clubs after impressing for the Belgian outfit in recent months.
The Belgian Under 21 star previously spent a month in England as a junior on a month trial with Stoke, before joining Standard's academy.
Hubert has forced himself into the starting XI of Standard's side this season and now Liverpool and Swansea are preparing a January bid, according to The Guardian.
He has 18 months left on his current contract, but the Belgian side are well aware that they face a struggle to keep hold of him this winter with interest hotting up from around Europe.
Jurgen Klopp is reportedly on the lookout for a goalkeeper with the Reds being linked to Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Victor Valdes and Jack Butland in recent months.
If Liverpool are successful in luring Hubert to Anfield, the report suggests the club would sign him on a long-term contract before loaning him back to Standard.
While Garry Monk is understood to be seeking a No.2 goalkeeper to Lukasz Fabianski, aware that Hubert could be signed for around £600,000 in January.
