Several British newspapers have linked Germany U21 international Dahoud with a move to Anfield in the past few months, and he has shot to the top of Friday's Football Whispers chart.

Dahoud is an energetic all-round midfield talent, combining a tireless work rate and incisive movement with a broad range of passing and tenacious ball-winning.

But Dahoud is under contract until 2018, and Gladbach are adamant that he is going nowhere.

2. Piotr Zielinski (Udinese) - 4.0

Piotr Zielinski continues to be linked with Liverpool despite problems in negotiations between the Reds and Udinese.

The 22-year-old Poland international look destined to make the switch to Anfield before the two clubs reportedly failed to reach an agreement over a fee, opening the door to Napoli to make their move for the midfielder.

But Liverpool's interest shows no sign of abating, it just remains to be seen whether they can thrash out a deal to bring their man to Merseyside.

3. Moussa Sissoko (Newcastle) - 3.5

After a string of promising performances in the heart of French midfield which booked their place in the Euro 2016 final, Newcastle midfielder Moussa Sissoko has emerged as a target for Jurgen Klopp, according to Football Whispers.

Sissoko, relegated to the Championship with Newcastle last season, has to decide whether to remain at St James' Park, where he would play a key role in Rafa Benitez's plans to return to the Premier League, or to cash in on his promising displays.
