Liverpool will go head to head with Napoli with Yann M’Vila…
Respected Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, who works closely with Gianluca Di Marzio at Sky Italy, claims that Liverpool are set to enter talks with Russia Rubin Kazan for French midfielder Yann M’Vila.
The 23-year-old battler moved to Russia in 2013 for £9.6m, but is apparently eager to move back to an elite league to increase his chances of adding to his 22 international caps.

Liverpool currently only have Lucas as an out and out holding midfielder, and with Steven Gerrard ageing and increasingly injury prone – the squad needs reinforcements in the centre of the park.
The signing of M’Vila would bolster the Reds’ push for a top four spot this season.
