Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is using the last few weeks of the league campaign to check on potential transfer targets, one of which is Montepellier winger Younes Belhanda.
The winger has been instrumental in helping Montpellier enjoy a fantastic season as they push for the Ligue 1 title, scoring 11 league goals in his 27 appearances.
The Metro has reported that Dalglish travelled to France with assistant Steve Clarke to make a personal check on the winger who is renowned for his pace and ability on the ball.
The duo are certain to have been impressed with the performance of Belhanda who scored the only goal of the game as Montpellier remained top of the league with a 1-0 win over Toulouse on Friday evening.
Belhanda, 22, has been a regular starter for the past two seasons, but this year has been his best to date in front of goal, while Montpellier have all but won the league title after moving five points clear of PSG with just four games remaining.
The paper believes that Belhanda is likely to quit the club in the summer after hearing that their is interest from the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and fellow French club PSG.
Liverpool will seemingly face stiff competition for the Morocco international after learning that Arsenal have sent scout Gilles Grimandi to watch the player on a number of occasions.
