Liverpool are in a rough spot ahead of their clash with Stoke City in the League Cup semi-finals this week. The Reds were beaten by West Ham United in a 2-0 shutout and have needed to rely on late-game heroics far too many times for fans’ liking.
If Jurgen Klopp plans to have his team ready to take on Stoke City, they need to be prepared to play a complete game or risk a loss in the crucial road leg of the contest.
Here is the Liverpool transfer roundup for Sunday:
Double-swoop for Suarez and Rossi
Liverpool have expressed interest in Fiorentina stars Mario Suarez and Giuseppe Rossi as January signings. The second-place Serie A club may be hard-pressed to let their stars go with a Champions League berth in sight though. [Source: Mirror]
Martin Caceres targeted despite controversy
Juventus have hesitated to let the 28-year-old defender back into the starting lineup regularly after a drunk driving incident earlier this season. However, Liverpool have been identified as the leader in the race for his signature, presently beating out Inter Milan and Fenerbahce. [Source: Metro]
Everton & Leicester City trying to swoop on Liverpool-bound Gray
Though Birmingham City forward Demarai Gray is believed to be on his way to Leicester City, Everton are planning a last-second bid for him. However, both of them could be left out of the move with Liverpool reportedly owning a first option-to-buy for the teenage forward. [Source: Birmingham Mail]
