Liverpool fans greeted news that their beloved club cooled interest in Thomas Lemar with a mixture of glee and optimism.

Not only did Reds supporters seem happy about it, they also thought it meant Jurgen Klopp's attention was now focused on another target - a Real Madrid man in particular.

The Monaco winger, who was wanted by Arsenal last summer, has seen himself linked with a move to Liverpool.

However, the Liverpool Echo understands the Reds are no longer pursuing the 22-year-old and are focusing their attention elsewhere.
