“There is a lot of truth in (talk of) the interest of (Liverpool boss) Jurgen Klopp in me.
“There was contact, I do not deny that.”
“I’m not thinking too much about it right now though, I’ve still got few games to play for Empoli and after that there is still the Euros in France.”
Zielinski is a cultured midfielder who possesses great technical ability as well as agility and creativity – something Jurgen Klopp yearns for in a player.
He was in great form at the weekend in Serie A, scoring in Empoli’s 2-0 victory over Fiorentina.
