The 19-year-old attacker has attracted the attention of all three Premier League clubs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The player has five goals and three assists in just 10 league starts this season. There is no doubt that he is a phenomenal talent with a bright future, and he could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition.<\/p>\n<p><b>Want more CaughtOffside coverage?

It is no surprise that they are keen on the young Bundesliga attacker. They have good terms with Bayer Leverkusen, and it will be interesting to see if they can sign the 19-year-old in the summer. The two clubs worked on the transfers of Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong earlier this season. They have amicable terms, and Liverpool will help to capitalise on that and get the deal done.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CAUGHTOFFSIDE APP FOR ALL THE LATEST &#038; BREAKING UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!

Viktor Gyokeres has had a mixed campaign, and he needs more support in the attack.
