Christian Falk has suggested fans should ‘keep an eye’ on Liverpool when it comes to the future of Jonathan Tah.

The 28-year-old was a ‘top’ target for Max Eberl and Bayern Munich, though the Bavarians were unable to meet Bayer Leverkusen’s package demand of €30m [£25.2m] (€25m plus €5m in add-ons).

“I think the big advantage for Liverpool in the race for Tah is that the Premier League was always his big, big dream.

“There will always be rumours linking him with a move to Newcastle. However, if Liverpool were to knock on his door, there’s perhaps a big chance that he’ll be playing in the Premier League next season.”
