Liverpool Draw Up Impressive Five Man Summer Spending Spree Wish-List

Posted by

Stefan De Vrij

The highly rated 21 year old has been on the Anfield radar for some time but perhaps the personal trip by the Liverpool boss shows just how seriously the Merseyside club are considering a bid for the young centre-back.

De Vrij has just 18 months to run on his current contract and therefore his Rotterdam employers may choose to sell the youngster this summer in preference to a possible free transfer departure at the end of next season.

Though De Vrij only turned 21 earlier this month he has still racked up over 100 Feyenoord appearances and has three Dutch national team caps to his name.

Hatem Ben Arfa

The 25 year old who has returned to action following a hamstring injury is a player Alan Pardew does not want to lose, so much so that he is looking to offer Ben Arfa a new contract in the hope of quelling interest from prospective suitors.

Given that Magpies owner Mike Ashley bankrolled the addition of six new players in January there is a chance that an offer for a player who cost around £7m could be considered.

Rodgers may be keen on beefing up his attack in view of the drop in form from youngster Raheem Sterling. It also appears that Moroccan Oussama Assaidi is not part of Liverpool’s long term plans, having failed to cement a regular spot in the starting eleven so there may well be room for the addition of Hatem Ben Arfa.

Ben Arfa has scored ten goals, including some of the spectacular variety, in 48 appearances for the St James’ Park outfit.
