Rumour: Liverpool target Shakhtar Donetsk winger Douglas Costa

FBL-EUR-C1-SHAKHTAR-BORUSSIA

Liverpool have been in great form this campaign, amassing 30 points off their first 15 games, which has propelled them into second place in the table. Brendon Rodgers, who has been in the market for a winger, was rebuffed in the summer in his bid for Atletico Madrid star, Diego Costa.

Rodgers is now looking to consolidate his attacking options with the acquisition of young up-coming talent, Douglas Costa. The Brazilian has been instrumental in Shakhtar’s success off late, and has turned many heads in Europe.

With Daniel Sturridge out with a long term injury, and on-loan Chelsea winger – Victor Moses failing to make an impact at Anfield, Brendon Rodgers will look to dip into the market in January as he pushes for a top four place.

Douglas Costa, who has spent 3 years at the Ukranian club, will be ready for a fresh start, and might just be the perfect fit for the Merseysiders.
