Liverpool's stance on Olympiacos midfielder Santiago Hezze has emerged following surprise last-minute links to the Argentina star
For the majority of August, things have been relatively quiet with regards to an alternative to Zubimendi but some surprising links to a new target have emerged

Even if the rumors were true, it would take an awful lot to get a deal over the line before 11pm

Hezze featured for Argentina's Under-23's at this summer's Olympics in Paris
starting La Albiceleste's first two group stage games against Morocco and Iraq before being used as a second-half substitute in the final fixture against Ukraine.
the youngster's inclusion came off the back of an impressive campaign for Olympiacos in which he made 50 appearances across all competitions
Hezze provided the assist for the only goal of the game as Ayoub El Kaabi's 116th-minute strike secured a 1-0 victory over Fiorentina in Athens in May
His only goal of the season came in the previous round against Aston Villa as Olympiacos won the first leg of their semi-final 4-2 at Villa Park
He also provided an assist in the 2-1 victory against West Ham during the Europa League group stage earlier in the season.
It was quite a first campaign to remember for the 6ft 0in defensive midfielder, who had signed from Argentine Primera Division outfit Huracan following nine goals and eight assists in 122 appearances following his first-team breakthrough in 2020.
Hezze, who's contract at Olympiacos runs until the summer of 2028, is currently valued at $11.1million (£8.4m/€10m) by Transfermarkt,
