Clement Grenier
Sticking with the theme of technically gifted young players, Lyon’s 22-year-old midfielder Clement Grenier has also been linked with the Reds in the last week. Grenier is physically imposing, but his intricate passes and improving goalscoring rate have seen him earn two caps for France in 2013. Lyon would be unlikely to want to sell an academy graduate, but would be likely to listen to offers over £10 million. Whether Brendan Rodgers is likely to sign another young player with potential is questionable however, particularly following the arrival of rough diamond Luis Alberto.
Of these options, all are technically impressive and fit into the Rodgers philosophy, but only Christian Eriksen would perhaps immediately demand a first-team place.
