Liverpool face Bayern in race for £35m Toure

Liverpool are battling Bayern Munich for the signature of Hoffenheim winger Bazoumana Toure this summer.

The 20-year-old Ivorian has emerged as a top target for the Reds following Mohamed Salah's contract expiry. Known for his blistering pace and dribbling success rate, Toure has contributed eight assists in 24 Bundesliga appearances this season.

Bild reports that Liverpool scouts witnessed his performance in the Ivory Coast’s 1-0 win over Scotland. While Bayern Munich also admire the player, Arsenal and Manchester United are reportedly in the mix, with Hoffenheim demanding a fee around £35m.
