This is The Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

And welcome to the latest exclusive offering for members of the Blood Red Club. I'm Matt Addison and joining me

today is head of football, a German publication built, Christian Falk, who reported last month that

Liverpool are one of the teams interested in signing by Labik Kousen-Stahl at Florian Verts.

Verts is averaging a goal or an assist every 41 minutes so far this season in all competitions,

with six goals and five assists in eight games across both the Bundesliga and the Europa League

and he's doing all of that at just the age of 18. To give you the low down on the player, how much

you might cost and who else is interested in making a move for him.

Here's my chat with builds head of football Christian Falt,

but I also asked about Jude Bellingham, Jamal Musiala and a few other talents in Germany.

Enjoy. The Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo. Well,

Christian, thank you so much for joining me. We're here to have a chat about Florian Verts.

How interested are Liverpool in him, you think and which other clubs might be

interested in buying him as well? So he's on the focus of many Premier League clubs of course.

I heard about scouts from City they were the last

match but also Liverpool scouts were here Chelsea Tottenham and Arsenal so your English are keen on him but you have Bia Munich on the table and they would like to have him too.

I think he's the youngest player to have 10 goals in the Bundesliga.

He's scoring or assisting every 41 minutes this season.

Those numbers are really incredible.

What kind of player is he?

Is he an out and out striker is he at a number nine or is there a bit more to his game as well?

So indeed you know the young players have to find a position in the teams when they're starting.
