Lambert edges closer to Southampton return
The Daily Express has tipped Rickie Lambert for a surprise return to Southampton on loan in the January transfer window, despite Liverpool’s struggles in attack.
The England man moved to Anfield in a £4m deal in the summer but has only been used sparingly from the bench. And with Brendan Rodgers poised to bring in reinforcements in January, Lambert could slip further down the pecking order.
It is claimed the 32-year-old could be forced to return to St Mary’s on loan if he wants to keep his place in the international set-up.
