Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Brighton & Hove Albion and Aston Villa.

Last month, the player's agent indicated that Grujic was keen to secure a loan move away from Anfield in January, and Fenerbahce have been linked with a move for the Serbian.

However, according to the Liverpool Echo, both Brighton and Villa are prepared to offer the 21-year-old regular first-team football during the second half of the campaign.

Grujic has made just three starts in all competitions since moving to Merseyside in January 2016, while he has only made three substitute outings since the beginning of October.

Jurgen Klopp is said to be giving consideration to temporarily parting ways with the player, but the Liverpool boss would prefer Grujic to play in the Premier League or Championship rather than move abroad.
