Jurgen Klopp laughs off Nabil Fekir, Ousmane Dembele rumours

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp laughs off reports that his side have agreed a deal for Lyon striker Nabil Fekir and are interested in Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has laughed off reports that his side are interested in signing Nabil Fekir and Ousmane Dembele this summer.

Speculation emerged during the Reds' 1-0 defeat to Chelsea this afternoon that the club had agreed terms over a deal for Fekir in the region of £62m, with Lyon understood to be willing to sell the striker when the transfer window reopens.

Barcelona youngster Dembele has also been mentioned as a transfer target for the Champions League finalists, but Klopp refused to comment on the rumours.

"During the game we agreed a deal? I would be surprised about that!" Klopp told reporters at his post-match press conference.

"But no comment. [Dembele] is on the market? Now I'm interested! No, seriously I never comment on transfer rumours."

Liverpool's defeat at Stamford Bridge leaves them third in the Premier League table and now only three points clear of fifth-placed Chelsea having played a game more than the Blues.
