When taking over at a new club, they look to strengthen by bringing in those players that they know best.

And as Rúben Amorim continues to be linked with replacing Jürgen Klopp this summer, it is no surprise to see Liverpool linked with members of his talented Sporting CP squad.

At this stage, it appears a decision will only be made once the season comes to an end.

With Liverpool likely in need of at least one defensive reinforcement this summer, a couple of Sporting talents have emerged as possible targets.

Give Me Sport claims he has admirers at Anfield, with Manchester United also in the mix.

But one of the more interesting links is with ex-Coventry striker Viktor Gyökeres, who has hit the ground running in Portugal.

Any move for another attacker is likely to hinge on the futures of Mohamed Salah and Luis Díaz though, with both facing uncertain futures this summer.

Gyökeres' agent Hasan Cetinkaya previously spoke of the relationship between Amorim and the striker, telling A Bola: "It will be more difficult for Viktor to stay if Rúben leaves Sporting because Viktor came precisely because of Rúben.

It is claimed that Mikel Arteta will be given a hefty transfer budget to improve his strike force this summer, with Gyökeres one of six potential targets.

Other options include Newcastle striker Alexander Isak and RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko but it is claimed the Gunners have been 'tracking' Gyökeres and could rival Liverpool for his signature.

Liverpool.com says: Sporting is having a fantastic season under Amorim and Gyökeres has played a big part in that.

If Amorim does take over, you'd hope he may be able to tempt Gyökeres to come with him.
