Report: Liverpool want Bordeaux forward Francois Kamano, eight months after Newcastle United extensively scouted him

According to The Sun, Liverpool are interested in signing Bordeaux forward Francois Kamano this summer as manager Jurgen Klopp looks to add depth to his attack.

However, the 23-year-old might have been a Newcastle United player already had Rafa Benitez not left Saint James Park.

As reported by The Chronicles, the Toons heavily and extensively scouted Kamano in December and they were weighing up January move.

The Guinea international ended last season with 13 goals across all competitions last term, and his versatility to play across the frontline and behind the striker surely attracted Benitez and Klopp to him.
