It seems that Liverpool forwards and Japanese star Takumi Minamino is on his way out of Anfield if Southampton get their way.
The southern club are trying their best to push through a deal in the very final hour of Deadline Day according to The Athletic’s David Ornstein.
He’s currently not getting much game time at Liverpool with Mane and Salah always cementing their places even deeper into the starting XI and a move away from the club could be the best possible thing for his career and it could be a chance for Klopp to notice him.

Currently in the prime of his career, Southampton want to get the best of the player and Hassenhuttl seems to be familiar with the player after his time managing RB Leipzig while Takumi was at Leipzig’s sister club RB Salzburg.
Since joining from Salzburg it has been slow for Takumi but will this change be the best option for him?
The agreement between Southampton and Liverpool for Takumi Minamino is ‘imminent’ – as per @David_Ornstein. Deal expected to be completed on loan. 🔴 #lfc #DeadlineDay
