Liverpool send scouts to watch Stuttgart defender Finn Jeltsch

Liverpool have sent scouts to Germany to monitor Stuttgart defender Finn Jeltsch during the current international break, according to Sport Mole.

The 20-year-old has attracted interest from several leading European clubs, with Barcelona and Arsenal among those understood to be monitoring his progress.

Jeltsch joined Stuttgart from Nuremberg in 2025 and has made 63 appearances for the club since his move.

His performances in the Champions League this season have further increased attention around the Germany international, whose form has made him a target for a number of major clubs across Europe.

Jeltsch received his first Germany call-up under Jurgen Klopp and is being watched by Liverpool while away with the national team.

Liverpool are looking to strengthen their defensive options as Virgil van Dijk gets older. The club are also reported to have only one other defender, Jeremy Jacquet, available in addition to the experienced Netherlands captain.

The interest in Jeltsch comes as Liverpool assess the future make-up of their defence, while Barcelona and Arsenal are also linked with a possible move for the Stuttgart player.
