LIVERPOOL are considering a swoop for Leeds winger Raphinha.
And bookmakers Ladbrokes are backing Jurgen Klopp and Co. to get a deal over the line at odds of 6/4.
Raphinha joined the Yorkshire club in October from French club Rennes.
And he’s started to justify his £16.72m transfer fee having hit the ground running under Marcelo Bielsa.
The Brazilian attacker, 24, has scored six goals and provided six assists in 25 appearances.
And his exploits at Elland Road have attracted attention from Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, France Football report.
Klopp is thought to have dispatched scouts to monitor Raphinha’s progress, who will recommend an approach in the upcoming summer window.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Raphinha’s undoubtedly been one of Leeds’ standout players so far this season.
“And there’s every chance a Merseyside move could soon be on the cards if the latest odds are anything to go by.”
Former Anfield hero Jamie Carragher has certainly been impressed with the Leeds talent, comparing him to Mohamed Salah and Raheem Sterling.
Carragher told Sky Sports after Leeds’ recent 2-0 win over Crystal Palace: “I was really impressed with him when I watched him at Leicester last weekend.
“You see that shot there, that’s so typical of a wide man, that penetrating run that we talk about with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Raheem Sterling.
“All the great wide players. They make that run and he does. He has great quality on the ball.
“I think we mentioned before the game that he’s been involved in seven goals in the last eight games, so he’s always a huge threat and that’s always telling when your team-mates know from one training session.”
