Have Liverpool been given a Celtic hand-me-down as a new kit?

The 23-year-old is on the verge of a move to champions Genk for around £6 million after impressing for Zulte Waregem last term.

His 14 goals and 14 assists attracted the attention of Parkhead scouts, and the supposed interest from the Ladbrokes Premiership champions enabled Zulte Waregem to squeeze more out of Genk for his transfer.

Brighton, Mainz and Hertha Berlin were also said to be interested.
