Liverpool keen on Dani Ceballos

Premier League outfit Liverpool are hot on the trail of Real Madrid starlet Dani Ceballos, according to reports in Spain.

The Reds have yet to recruit a proper replacement for new Barcelona star Philippe Coutinho and they believe the Spain international has the potential to fill in his boots at Anfield.

Dani Ceballos has shown a great deal of potential since joining from Real Betis, but he has been unable to secure regular playing time under Zinedine Zidane.

With quite a few top sides showing interest in his services, the attacking midfielder could leave Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the season.

Dani Ceballos, 21, only started 2 La Liga fixtures this term, while making another 7 substitute appearances, scoring 2 goals in the process.

Meanwhile, his suitors Liverpool hold a seven-point advantage over fifth-placed Chelsea, who also have a game in hand, in the race for Champions League positions and they are 1/2 to defeat Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park next time out.
