Liverpool interested in Ousseynou Ba?

Olympiacos defender Ousseynou Ba has allegedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Liverpool.

While the centre-back has only made 14 appearances in Greece's top flight this season, the 24-year-old has starred in the Europa League since the turn of the year.

Having helped Olympiacos overcome Arsenal at the last-32 stage, the Senegalese was part of the starting lineup for the first leg of the last-16 encounter with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

According to Le Quotidien, being part of a backline which conceded just three goals in those fixtures has led to interest from Liverpool.

With Dejan Lovren a potential departure during the next window, Jurgen Klopp is considering possible replacements for the Croatia international.

Ba still has over three years remaining on his contract at Olympiacos.
