Liverpool have refused approaches from various clubs of winger Ben Doak, 19, have revealed reports.

The Daily Mail State Palace tabled a bid worth £15m to sign Doak as they look to rejuvenate a forward line that has faltered following the summer departure of Michael Olise to Bayern Munich.
However, the offer was quickly rejected by Liverpool. Sky Sports News The approach to reveal Palace was one of many that fell short of his assessment of Doak.
Liverpool I have no desire to part ways with Doak, whose progress at Middlesbrough has impressed those back at Anfield. There is a belief that he can play a role for Arne Slot’s senior side in the future and therefore they will not entertain any bids that do not meet his high valuation of £30m. The Times.
The Reds reached that figure after seeing Crysencio Summerville move from Leeds United to West Ham for £25m last summer, while Tottenham Hotspur splashed £30m on former Burnley striker Wilson Odobert in the same window.
Palace are said to view Doak as a key transfer target for the January window, but they must now decide whether to make a second bid for a player who signed a long-term deal in the summer of 2023.
