Liverpool 'are stepping up their pursuit for Crystal Palace midfielder Cheick Doucoure' after missing out on Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo

Liverpool are stepping up their chase to sign Crystal Palace star Cheick Doucoure, according to reports.

The Reds recently missed out on first-choice targets Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, who both opted to join Premier League rivals Chelsea in the last week.

It leaves Jurgen Klopp's side short on defensive midfield options but the Reds boss looks to have devised a plan to solve that.

According to The Independent, Liverpool have stepped up their pursuit of the Selhurst Park star.

The outlet claim that the Eagles could demand up to £50million for the Mali international, amid a number of outgoings for the south London club.
