The biggest rumours surrounding Anfield currently.
After finishing second in Premier League and therefore qualifying for the Champions League for the first time since 2009, Liverpool have enjoyed a great season under manager Brendan Rodgers.
However, the added strain of competing in Europe next term means that the Northern Irishman will need to bolster his squad ahead of the upcoming campaign.
The Reds have been linked with some high profile names and here are the top 10.
Emre Can, Bayer Leverkusen
The 20-year-old midfielder has been impressing in the Bundesliga and Rodgers is understood to be extremely keen on bringing the German in as added support in the middle of the park.

Steven Caulker, Cardiff City
It was said that the Merseysiders tried to bring in Caulker from Tottenham Hotspur 12 months ago, before the 22-year-old joined Cardiff instead and is now available for around £8m due to a clause being activated in the England international’s contract upon the Bluebirds’ relegation.

Ashley Cole, Chelsea
With Jose Enrique having been injured for most of the season and Valencia loanee Aly Cissokho failing to impress, a left-back is a priority and Cole is available on a free transfer after revealing he is leaving Stamford Bridge this summer when his current contract expires.

Will Hughes, Derby County
Rodgers has had his eyes on this impressive teenager for some time and with Derby losing the playoff final to QPR at the weekend, the midfielder may well welcome a move out of the Championship.

Adam Lallana, Southampton
One of the first rumours that seemed to gain credibility following the conclusion of the campaign and if Saints manager Mauricio Pochettino leaves for Tottenham then it’s likely Lallana will also head out of St Mary’s.

Dejan Lovren, Southampton
Sticking with the south coast and another star of Hampshire who made a big impression in England last year following an £8.5m move from Lazio and Lovren could help solve the side’s defensive problems.

Kyriakos Papadopoulos, Schalke 04
Defence really is a priority for Rodgers as it’s widely believed his side missed out on their first title since 1990 to Manchester City due to their fragility at the back and this 22-year-old has been strongly linked with a move for some time.

Marcos Rojo, Sporting Lisbon
Sticking with the subject of centre-backs and another defensive star the Merseyside outfit have been tracking for some time, although there are some disagreements with Sporting over a price.

Xherdan Shaqiri, Bayern Munich
As impressive as Raheem Sterling was in 2013/14 the Reds look a little sparse on the wings and this frustrated Bayern ace would probably jump at the chance of more first team football away from the Allianz Arena.

Cristian Tello, FC Barcelona
Here is another wide man who is finding obtaining game time at his current side difficult to come by and Rodgers wants to give Tello an opportunity away from the Nou Camp.
