Liverpool officials have reportedly been left \u2018baffled\u2019 by speculation suggesting the Reds will target Brazilian starlet Andre Trindade. Jurgen Klopp has been linked with the defensive midfielder ahead of the January transfer window but it seems that some reports might be wide of the mark.<\/p>\n

Arsenal and Manchester United have also been linked with the 22-year-old, who made his Brazil debut in June. It has been claimed that Liverpool would attempt to trump their top-flight rivals by completing a move in the January window.<\/p>\n
