Liverpool scouts were in attendance for RB Leipzig's game against Bayern Munich on Saturday, with young Dutch midfielder Xavi Simons potentially on the agenda.

Leipzig led Bayern Munich 2-0, then trailed 3-2, then scored an injury-time equalizer to delay Bayern's title party.

Benjamin Sesko, who is also a reported summer target for Liverpool, scored the opening goal in the game to move onto 21 goals for the season in all competitions.

Simons has had a high profile ever since he was a youngster in the Barcelona academy, and he has already played for a host of big clubs at senior level, with stints at Paris Saint-Germain, PSV Eindhoven and Leipzig on his CV.

Simons started and scored in the Netherlands' 2-1 defeat by England in the semi-finals, prompting praise from Ten Hag.
