Liverpool target Leverkusen U21 star Emre Can

According to media reports in Germany, Liverpool are rumoured to be very interested in a £10m move for Turkish-German midfielder Emre Can. The talk is that the Reds have been monitoring his situation for a couple of years since he impressed club scouts at a tournament over in South America. 

Brendan Rodgers is aware that he needs to strengthen this summer in order to give the Merseyside club the best chance of again challenging for the Premier League title, as well as properly competing in the UEFA Champions League next year, and Emre Can would be a perfect start to proceedings, should a bid be made.

It is unsure yet however whether the club would still opt to go in for Southampton and England international Adam Lallana as well as Can, or whether the German U21 starlet is being seen as 'an alternative'. 

Can is a strong, left footed player with energy and versatility to his name, as he can play in a number of positions defensively and offensively across midfield.
