Will Hughes in action for the England U21s

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has brushed aside talk of Liverpool making a move for Derby County youngster Will Hughes.

According to ESPN FC, Rodgers said: “Listen, I never normally say anything when it’s speculation about players, but I’ve got to say that I do really feel for this young guy. This is a brilliant, talented young player that either a person or a group of people aren’t doing any favours whatsoever by constantly linking him with coming to Liverpool.

“I read something that said we’d put in a bid, or that something had been agreed. There’s nothing further from the truth.”

Hughes has been very impressive for Derby in the Championship over the last year. A couple of top clubs are said to be interested to be signing the highly rated 18-year-old , with Liverpool still looking like the favourites to land him despite Rodgers claiming otherwise.
