Polish international and on-loan Empoli midfielder Piotr Zielinski admits Liverpool has contacted him ahead of a potential summer move.

"There is a lot of truth in (talk of) the interest of (Liverpool manager) Jurgen Klopp in me," the 21-year-old said, according to the Guardian. "There was contact, I do not deny that."

Zielinski, who scored in Empoli's 2-0 win over Fiorentina on the weekend, is currently enjoying a standout campaign in Tuscany. He has four goals and four assists to his name, helping Empoli secure safety in Serie A.

The Guardian reported in January that the Reds had been monitoring Zielinski's progress. He moved to Empoli on a season-long loan deal last summer from Udinese.

Expected to play a part in Euro 2016, Zielinski has made 13 appearances for the Polish national team.
