Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been looking at transfer target Yves Bissouma’s character off the pitch as they consider a summer bid.
The Brighton midfield ace has impressed this campaign, despite being involved in a relegation battle.
Bissouma’s all-action box-to-box displays have seen numerous top Premier League clubs consider a transfer, with Arsenal and Manchester City also keen on his services.
Liverpool’s interest in the player is a little further down the line, according to the Sunday Times, though.

They report German gaffer Klopp has been ‘personally researching’ his character and off-field behaviour to find out if he will fit into his current squad.
If he does decide the player is the right man and a successor to Georginio Wijnaldum, who looks set to leave the club on a free transfer, then a £40million bid will be needed to prise him away from The Seagulls.
