Jurgen Klopp’s side have already had multiple offers for the midfielder rejected by Southampton and now face added pressure following interest from Chelsea, who submitted a £48m bid last week.

But according to The Guardian, Liverpool have now bettered Chelsea’s offer and have agreed a £60m fee with Southampton for Lavia.

However, the report claims that Liverpool must still convince the 19-year-old to join them ahead of Chelsea and could still risk out on losing another one of their midfield targets after Moises Caicedo held out for a move to Stamford Bridge.
