Liverpool transfer speculation today sees West Ham United
midfielder Mohamed Diame has emerged as a surprise January target.
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to bring the 26-year-old
to Anfield as he looks to add more steel to his midfield, and sees Diame as
capable of filling that void.
Another transfer rumour sees Brendan Rodgers exploring the
prospect of landing Swedish star Ola Toivonen on loan until the end of the
season.
The versatile 27-year-old, who has been linked with
Newcastle, can play in midfield or along the front line, and would provide the
cover boss Brendan Rodgers needs in his injury-hit squad.
Toivonen, who has been on the Anfield giants' radar since
Kenny Dalglish tried to sign him in 2010, and will be a free agent in the
summer when his contract with PSV Eindhoven is up.
Liverpool are keen on proposing a small fee to take the
player on loan for the remainder of the campaign - giving him the chance to
earn a long-term future at Anfield.
Liverpool's previously ailing hopes of landing Paris
Saint-Germain midfielder Javier Pastore on loan have received a boost as he now
looks certain to make a temporary switch in January.
The Argentinian was one of the club's first big-money
signings after they were taken over by the Qatar Investment Authority in 2011
and he has previously stated that he was opposed to any move away from Paris.
However, sources in Italy claim the 24-year-old is
reconsidering his options as he wants regular first-team football ahead of the
World Cup in Brazil in the summer.
Liverpool are believed to be weighing up a January move for
in-and-out Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson during the January
transfer window.
The Icelandic international has not managed to show his best
form during his time at White Heart Lane that prompted the club to sign him
permanently after impressing during a loan spell from Swansea City in the
second half of the 2011-12 season, and has since struggled to hold down a
regular spot in the starting XI.
Inter chief Giovanni Luigi insists the club is open to
offers for striker Leandro Damiao, despite admitting that no approaches have
been made for his services.
The Brazil international has been linked with a move to
Premier League sides Tottenham and Liverpool since the summer, and also
rejected the chance to join high-flying Southampton in an £18million deal.
But now the Brazilian season is over and with the January
window fast approaching, English sides are on red alert over the player's
availability.
