Reds closing in on Lovren and Remy
Two players also thought to be closing in on making the switch to Anfield are Southampton defender Dejan Lovren and QPR striker Loic Remy – according to reports in the Daily Mirror.
Rodgers moved a huge step closer to landing long-term target Lovren last night in a £20m deal, when the Saints decided to turn their attention to Aston Villa centre-back Ron Vlaar.
Meanwhile, Liverpool agreed an £8.5m deal for Remy yesterday, and are now thought to be closing in on an agreement with the player.
