Liverpool’s summer transfer window – How the squad will look next season with arrival of Chelsea star and England international

Attacking midfield

Beyond perhaps central defence if anywhere was a priority for recruitment then this is it, with too much reliance paid to too few players in 2013/14.

Raheem Sterling had a particularly great year and even developed as a No.10 as well as a winger, whilst Philippe Coutinho continues to improve and also develop his versatility.

However, beyond that things look a little stretched and loanees Oussama Assaidi and Suso – who both impressed last campaign – could both be sold this summer.

That is why Rodgers has put his faith in trying to bring in Southampton skipper Adam Lallana and Xherdan Shaqiri of Bayern Munich – reports the Daily Mail – although both will be expensive.
