Bundesliga Side Stuttgart Emerge as Rivals to Crystal Palace in Race for Liverpool's Forgotten Man

Bundesliga side VfB Stuttgart are believed to be plotting a January swoop for Liverpool's Dominic Solanke, as they look to find the goals necessary to avoid relegation into the German second tier.

Solanke joined the Reds from Chelsea in 2017, after Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp convinced the player he'd get more game time at Anfield than at Stamford Bridge. However, despite making a healthy 28 appearances for the club last season, the 21-year-old hasn't featured at all for the Merseyside club this season.

According to German outlet Kicker, Bundesliga strugglers Stuttgart - perhaps having witnessed Jadon Sancho's meteoric rise at Borussia Dortmund - have identified the England intentional as an ideal candidate to lead their line for the remainder of the season.
