KLOPP EYEING JORGINHO TO REPLACE CAN
LIVERPOOL are lining up Italy international Jorginho as a replacement for Emre Can.
Manchester United and Arsenal are also looking at Jorginho (right).
But Jurgen Klopp is confident Liverpool are in the frame for the £50million-rated Napoli midfielder.
The Brazilian-born star is in the Italy squad for friendlies against

Jorginho, 26, holds a dual passport and has three Azzurri caps.
If it comes down to a straight fight between United, Arsenal and Liverpool, Klopp’s club will be favourites. Jorginho has noted the success of Brazilians Lucas, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino at Anfield.
German international Can’s contract expires in June. He has rejected all offers of a new deal and a return to Bayern Munich is on the cards.
Liverpool have also been looking at Nice’s Jean Michael Seri and Wilfred Ndidi of Leicester as Can’s replacement.
