Liverpool line-up Lallana bid

By -


The 25-year-old is expected to feature heavily for England at the World Cup finals in Brazil after a superb season for the Saints. Lallana, recently voted Southampton's Player of the Year, has scored nine goals in 37 Premier League games this season. He also has six assists and has created 69 chances for his team while earning regular England call-ups alongside team-mates Rickie Lambert, Jay Rodriguez and Luke Shaw. Yaya Toure, Steven Gerrard and Eden Hazard are the only other midfielders to have scored more league goals than Lallana this term, while Aaron Ramsey and Raheem Sterling have also scored nine. Southampton have insisted that they have received no official bid for the player from Liverpool. But sources suggest that Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is determined to complete a deal to sign Lallana before England depart for Brazil on June 8. England coach Roy Hodgson will unveil his provisional England World Cup squad on Monday. Find out who makes the cut live on Sky Sports News.

Brendan Rodgers has outlined his vision to take Liverpool forward and is targeting up to five quality additions to bolster his squad. Though Rodgers has vowed to fight until the final whistle on Sunday, he has conceded Liverpool’s hopes of winning their first title since 1990 have almost been extinguished after only taking one point from their last two games against Chelsea and Crystal Palace. But wherever Liverpool finish this campaign, Rodgers is aware that improvements need to be made to the squad during the summer and believes the fact they can guarantee Champions League football will give them a considerable lure.
