Sensational report claims Liverpool private jet is EN ROUTE to pick up a deadline day signing

A wild rumour has arisen in the final days of the summer transfer window that Liverpool are interested in Olympiacos midfielder Santiago Hezze.

Greek football writer Stephen Kountourou has reported that the Reds have identified Hezze as a potential midfield target.

This comes after Liverpool announced the agreement to bring Giorgi Mamardashvilli to the club in 2025 as well as completing a deal for Italian ace Federico Chiesa.

The Argentinian midfielder was an influencial member of Olympiacos' Conference League winning squad last season and a departure away from the Athens would require of convincing for the Greek side.

The reports linking the Anfield club with Hezze is met by the private jet that brought Chiesa to Merseyside before taking Stefan Bajcetic to RB Salzburg to complete his loan deal, is due to travel to Athens next.

It is worth noting that the private jet that's been used for transfers involving Liverpool in recent days is not owned by the club and that the journey to Athens could be being chartered by someone else.

LIVERPOOL'S NO.6 ISSUES

It goes without saying that Liverpool have never really replaced Fabinho who was so valuable to the success the club achieved under Jurgen Klopp's management.

Liverpool have seen main midfield targets turn them down in recent summers with Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia opted to move to Chelsea with Martin Zubimendi most recently choosing to stay at boyhood club Real Sociedad.

The Reds appeared not to look elsewhere for a midfielder and instead decided to keep Tyler Morton at Anfield despite plenty of interest in the 21 year-old.

Stefan Bajcetic however has today travelled to Salzburg to complete a loan move following an injury stricken year and the Spaniards move may open the door for Liverpool to seek a potential midfielder before Friday's deadline.
