Liverpool are to hold talks next week over the prospective signing of Piotr Zielinski from Udinese.

The 21-year-old has impressed during a two-season loan at Empoli and Liverpool confirmed their interest in the Poland international earlier this year.

Scouts have continued to monitor his progress and watched him in action against Genoa last week.

Zielinski is quick and skilful. He can play on the wing or as a central midfielder, has 11 caps for Poland with three goals and is expected to be part of their Euro 2016 squad.

Jurgen Klopp likes his high energy style and believes it can fit into his Liverpool squad.

The German has already made moves to bolster his squad after signing 19-year-old midfielder Marko Grujic from Red Star Belgrade in January, with the Serb joining the first-team squad in the summer.

Liverpool have also agreed a deal to sign Schalke's Cameroonian centre-back Joel Matip on a free deal in the summer.

The Reds return to action on Thursday when they take a two goal lead to Old Trafford in the second leg of their Europa League Last 16 clash.
