Declan Rice
Former Liverpool and England defender Stephen Warnock has ured his old side to make a play to sign Rice this summer, insisting it's "game over" if he moves to the Etihad.
"If Man City get Rice it’s all over again," tweeted Warnock. "I cannot believe Liverpool are not being mentioned for him. A lot of money but he’s gonna be there for 10 years or more! Knows the league been a standout in the league for past few seasons and is only improving. Imagine him under Klopp!"
Keito Nakamura
The LASK midfielder Keito Nakamura is being linked with a move to Liverpool, according to the Mail.
Nakamura helped his side reach the Europa League with 14 goals and seven assists last season making him attract the interest of the Reds, Aston Villa and other sides abroad.
The report claims that the Japanese international is likely to leave LASK this summer. Wednesday’s loosening of the GBE criteria for foreign players coming to England will have also improved his chances of making a move to Anfield in the near future.
James Ward-Prowse
Liverpool have recently been linked with making a move for Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse, but those reports have been rubbished with the midfielder not fitting the type of profile being searched for.
Ward-Prowse is likely to leave the Saints after their relegation to the Championship, but it is rumoured it will take £50 million to get him our of Southampton.
A sticking point for Liverpool, other than the price, would be that Ward-Prowse is 28 years old. It's very unlikely the Reds would pursue a move for someone this age.
