Liverpool are keeping tabs on Nice left-back Henrique Dalbert, reports French publication Mercato365.
The 23-year-old shone last season for the overachieving Ligue 1 outift, who are in the Champions League Play-Off stage for the coming campaign.

Dalbert is Brazilian and arrived in Europe in 2016 having impressed at Vitória de Guimarães in his homeland.
Having seen clips of Dalbert, his style is very obvious: he’s exceptionally quick, loves bombing forward and has little defensive inclination!
In this respect, we could compare him to our own unwanted left-back Alberto Moreno – but we’d hope our target’s decision making at the back is less suicidal.
Andrew Robertson of Hull is the only left-back who’s been confirmed as a target by official sources though, so for now, we’d be surprised if we were not focussing on the 23-year-old Scot.
However, we don’t imagine we’ll bid for him until our primary targets in central midfield (Naby Keita) and central defence (Virgil van Dijk) are decided.
