There were some good performances from this area last term, with captain Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson the standout players in the middle.

Joe Allen provided good support, whilst although Rodgers is in no rush to sell Lucas Leiva the Brazilian is growing frustrated at a lack of first team opportunities, reports the Metro.

Those chances will become even more limited for Lucas if Rodgers lands his transfer target Emre Can from Bayer Leverkusen as well, according to the Sky Sports.
