Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Liverpool are 'in talks' with West Ham defender Amara Nallo as Jurgen Klopp continues his summer rebuild.
Liverpool have already signed midfield duo Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai this summer for a combined fee of £95 million.
Meanwhile, the Reds boss is thought to be keen on bringing in further midfield reinforcements following Jordan Henderson's move to the Saudi Pro League.
Fabinho has also been heavily linked with a move to the Middle East, leaving Klopp scrambling for alternatives.However, his next piece of business could be set to come in defence, with 16-year-old centre-back Nallo linked with a move to Anfield.
Romano shared the news in a Tweet which read: "Understand Liverpool are in talks to sign new young talent for Academy — 2006 born centre back Amara Nallo from West Ham.
"Negotiations ongoing with Liverpool."Amaro was part of the 12 academy youngsters who signed full-time scholarship contracts with the West Ham academy back in May, however it seems he could be on his way out already.
Although Naro would be unlikely to play in the Liverpool's first-team, the transfer would demonstrate Klopp's intention to build a squad for the future.
Liverpool have also tied down academy talents Jarell Quansah and Isaac Mabaya to new contracts at the club.
