The youngster’s Middlesbrough future has been plunged into some uncertainty this week.
Per The Northern Echo, the Reds may use him as part of a deal for Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo.
The latter has been a revelation in the Premier League this season, scoring vital goals in big games.
Semenyo recently scored a stunner at Stamford Bridge in a 2-2 draw against Chelsea.
With several top teams after him, Liverpool may want to make a mid-season move.
