Liverpool have reportedly joined the race for Roma's in-demand midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo.

The 20-year-old was in fine form prior to being struck down by injury in January, scoring six times and contributing two assists in 24 club appearances.

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have also been linked with Zaniolo, but Liverpool are said to be well placed to pounce for the Italy international this summer.

With that in mind, Sports Mole looks at the shirt numbers available to the youngster should he make the switch to Anfield.

Zaniolo has sported the number 22 shirt in his two seasons with Roma, but that top is currently occupied at Liverpool by Andy Lonergan.

However, given Lonergan's status as third-choice goalkeeper, plus the fact that he is out of contract later this year, that shirt will surely be freed up should Zaniolo want it.

The Italian midfielder previously had hold of the number 64 shirt during his time with Inter Milan, where he failed to make a single senior appearance.

Unsurprisingly, that jersey has been up for grabs since Rafael Camacho left Liverpool last summer to rejoin Sporting Lisbon.

Going further back, meanwhile, Zaniolo has also played with '10', '17', '19' and '21' on his back.

The Liverpool number 10 shirt is one of the most iconic around and currently belongs to Sadio Mane, but the other three are all available.

One other option could be '11', more traditionally associated with wingers, which the Fiorentina youth product has worn for Italy.

Mohamed Salah may have other ideas, though, considering that is also his number of choice for the Reds.
