Yevhen Konoplyanka – Dnipro to Liverpool
After Brendan Rodgers appeared to have a deal sewn up for the tricky Ukrainian winger that can operate on either flank, the Northern Irishman will be devastated to hear of Tottenham’s plot to hijack the move. Having already missed out on top target Mohamed Salah to Chelsea, Rodgers will be desperate to lure the Dnipro man to Anfield.
Liverpool’s squad has been found lacking in recent weeks compared to their top four rivals and although attacking options are not a priority, Rodgers will be satisfied to get another body through the door. Konoplyanka initially impressed in a World Cup qualifier against England and excelled himself by scoring or assisting in four of Dnipro’s seven goals in the Europa League group stages this year.
Meanwhile Tottenham are looking to add fresh impetus to their squad after several big money signings in the summer have failed to acclimatise to the English game, most notably Erik Lamela. The North Londoners also harbour hopes of reclaiming a Champions League place and snatching a transfer target from under their direct rivals noses would please the fans.
