Liverpool are keeping tabs on Borussia Dortmund winger Marco Reus. According to recent reports, the Reds are huge admirers of his talents and are monitoring his situation at the Westfalenstadion. However, Jurgen Klopp’s side may face competition from their Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur, who are also tracking the German international’s situation at Dortmund with the 28-year-old currently stalling over a new deal.
Reus will have just a year left on his current contract with the Bundesliga club in the summer. However, it is believed that he is waiting to find out the extent of Dortmund’s ambition in the summer transfer market before committing his long-term future to the club. The German winger was out of action with a serious injury and has missed the major chunk of this season so far.
The 28-year-old has successfully completed his recovery recently and returned to first-team action in Dortmund’s 2-0 victory over Hamburger SV last month. He has made 5 appearances for the Bundesliga club this season and has scored two goals so far in all competitions. Reus is highly versatile and can operate in a number of different positions across the midfield. He can play on either wing or in the number 10 position which makes him an ideal asset for any of his potential suitors.
The Merseyside outfit are currently sitting in 3rd place in the Premier League table after securing a comfortable 4-1 victory at home to West Ham United on Saturday. The Reds find themselves just above Tottenham Hotspur, who are in fourth place with a two-point gap separating the two teams at the moment.
However, Jurgen Klopp’s side are a massive 18 points behind league leaders Manchester City which indicates that they need to bring in a few fresh faces in the summer to try and bridge the gap between themselves and the Manchester clubs in the coming years. The addition of Reus will undoubtedly bolster Jurgen Klopp’s attacking options as they look to mount a realistic title challenge next season.
Reus can boast 29 international caps for the German national team and has found the back of the net nine times for his country so far. He has a wealth of experience of playing at the top level which makes him a perfect fit for the Premier League. It remains to be seen what lies ahead in the future of the 28-year-old and whether Liverpool are successful in fending off stiff competition in pursuit of his signature in the near future.
