Youri Tielemans listed as "available" as Liverpool ponder midfield options

 Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans has been described as "available" as Liverpool consider their midfield options in the days before the transfer deadline.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp made a public U-turn on his stance late last week as he admitted the club would look to strengthen in the engine room, however, it would still need to be the "right" player all things considered for Liverpool to complete their dramatic transfer turnaround.

According to Sky Sports' Melissa Reddy, Tielemans is one of the options the Reds could consider.

"Youri Tielemans profiles well and is available, but there clearly hasn't been enough credence in what he offers and how to integrate it within the specific functionalities of midfield," writes the Sky Sports reporter.

"If primary targets are not available - and there's no guarantee over them next summer either - then a short-term fix that has the tools to develop into long-term solution may work in this scenario
