The information from the moderately reliable "Mirror" site should be taken with a grain of salt. But it says a lot about the potential rebound of Senegalese Ismaïla Sarr. Transferred last summer to Watford for the tidy sum of 30 million euros, the former Stade Rennais winger would be tracked by Liverpool. The young player is not expected to stay in the north-west suburbs of London. Beaten 3-2 by a still fragile Arsenal, the English club has been demoted and will play in the Championship (English D2) next season. And it's hard to see how the Hornets are going to be able to keep the most expensive rookie in their history.

Barely the season over, the first rumors send the shy winger to the defending champion. According to the Mirror , Jürgen Klopp would have made Ismaila Sarr his priority, the track leading to Borussia Dortmund's nugget Jadon Sancho having cooled down. The former Messin completed his first English season with 5 goals and 6 assists in 28 league games.

Sarr, executioner of ... Liverpool in February

Long awaited on the other side of the Channel, Ismaïla Sarr took a long time to get started at Watford, not helped by the disastrous start to the season for her team. But the winger so often targeted by Ligue 1 defenders when he was playing in Rennes ended up revealing himself to the English public by humiliating… Liverpool precisely!

Author of a double and an assist, the 22-year-old Senegalese had largely contributed to the first defeat of the Reds this season, slapped 3-0 under the eyes of a disappointed Jürgen Klopp. If he were to join Liverpool, Sarr would find his compatriot Sadio Mané there, who had taken him under his wing when he arrived in England.
