Liverpool want to sign Yedlin for a trial during pre-season training, according to reports.
The Seattle Sounders defender, aged 20, caught the eye with an excellent substitute appearance during the US’s World Cup round of 16 defeat to Belgium.
But he was apparently already on the Reds’ radar after his performances in the Under-20 World Cup.
Reports in America suggest that Liverpool want him to join them for a trial spell during pre-season with a view to making a permanent move if he impresses at close quarters.
The pacy youngster offers versatility as he can play at right-back, left-back or as a winger. He delivered a marauding performance at full-back against Belgium, getting involved in attacks but also racing back to combat opposition attacks.
He also bagged an assist after a substitute appearance against Portugal earlier in the tournament.
