Here’s your daily round-up of transfer gossip from World Soccer.
ANFIELD RETURN FOR SUAREZ ?
Spanish outlet Fichajes have made an extraordinary claim this morning, by suggesting that Liverpool are lining up a move for former striker Luis Suarez. The Uruguayan may be 34, but that won’t put off Jurgen Klopp, who wants a proven finisher, according to the report. Never mind that the Reds have tended to prioritise younger signings with sell-on value, or that Suarez hasn’t scored in the Champions League since Barcelona’s 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich.

TOTTENHAM TARGET USA WONDERKID
Schalke’s relegation from the Bundesliga is a matter of when, not if, and when they do go down there is likely to be a queue of clubs for USA striker Matthew Hoppe, one of the club’s few positives in a dreadful season. According to AS, Tottenham are ready to go head to head with Spanish sides Barcelona, Valencia and Villarreal to sign the American, who has scored five league goals this season.

DO INTER NEED TO CASH IN?
After Internazionale’s Chinese owners were recently forced to wind up their other club, CSL champions Jiangsu, the Italian giants’ finances are under scrutiny. As a result, key players such as Achraf Hakimi could be available for a transfer, less than a year after arriving at the San Siro. According to Goal.com, Chelsea and Arsenal could swoop for the Morocco full-back, who also has interest from Real Madrid, where his career began.
