The Copa America ought to be a fine hunting ground for Premier League managers and scouts looking to secure the right man for next season’s campaign.

Liverpool will be no different.
Brendan Rodgers has reason to consolidate every single position on the pitch for his Reds squad. The Northern Irish coach has already brought James Milner and Danny Ings to Anfield this summer, but will surely dip into the market again before the transfer window closes.
Here are five Copa America stars he may also want to take a look at over the coming weeks.
Radamel Falcao
Having flopped at Manchester United, Radamel Falcao may not be a natural candidate to be a saviour at Liverpool.
However, the Reds are believed to be keen in the Colombian forward and look set to compete with Chelsea for his signature [via Le 10 Sport].
He managed four goals in the top flight last season, so he may at least be a safer bet than Mario Balotelli!
Carlos Tevez
According to the Express, Liverpool are ready to profit from Carlos Tevez’s rumoured desire to leave the Italian giants.
With Paulo Dybala having moved to Juventus, Tevez’s place is under threat, and a return to the Premier League—a division the Argentine has already won twice—may well appeal.
Fernando Muslera
Brad Jones has departed and Brendan Rodgers appears to have given up hope on Simon Mignolet, at least if his rumoured pursuit of Iker Casillas is anything to go by.
The Northern Irish coach ought to consider Uruguay stopper Fernando Muslera, who is a class act both for Galatasaray and for the national side.
Enner Valencia
If Chelsea miss out on Radamel Falcao to Chelsea—as looks likely—then the Merseysiders could do a lot worse than consider another Pensioners target, Enner Valencia.
The Ecuador international’s form may have tailed off towards the backend of the campaign, but the 25-year-old’s explosive contribution has certainly raised some interest.
He also has experience of the Premier League, which Rodgers may find appealing.
Edinson Cavani
Liverpool legend Phil Thompson has begged the Reds to sign the Paris Saint-Germain hitman—according to the Liverpool Echo—and it’s hard to deny that the Uruguayan would be an excellent asset to the Reds.
If they could tempt him to Anfield—and it’s a big if—then the former Napoli man could possess the kind of class to fire Liverpool back into the Champions League; 31 goals in 43 appearances in all competitions for the Parisians this season demonstrates this.
