LFC Considers Five Stars

Brendan Rodgers wants to make four new signings this summer to give Liverpool's squad the depth to become credible Champions League challengers.

The club have made significant progress on the back of a January transfer window which saw them land Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho.

Rodgers is eager to sign similar quality players in the close season and plans have already been put into place for the recruitment drive.

Feyenoord's Stefan De Vrij and Swansea captain Ashley Williams will be considered as potential new central defenders, while Newcastle forward Hatem Ben Arfa, winger Tom Ince of Blackpool and Paris Saint-Germain striker Kevin Gameiro will also come under consideration.

LFC Go Double Dutch

Liverpool, Everton and Tottenham are hoping to go double Dutch this ­summer.

The three clubs have ­received glowing reports about the two new central defenders in Holland's ­national team.

Stefan de Vrij, 21, and 20 year-old Bruno Martins Indi both play for at ­Feyenoord.

They would cost ­£25million in a ­package deal this summer.

De Vrij knows about the huge Premier League ­interest and has told his club that he is not ready to sign a new deal.

He said: "I want to see what is happening now.

"I will focus on playing for the club and for Holland, but I won't sit down with the club now about a new ­contract."

The duo have been first choice in the Dutch ­national team under Louis van Gaal and have replaced ­Everton's Johnny Heitinga and ­Feyenoord's other central defender Joris Mathijsen.The older duo were in the last World Cup Finals and European ­Championship for ­Holland.

But Van Gaal believes that De Vrij and Martins Indi will be the new stars of next year's World Cup bid in ­Brazil.

The Premier League trio will all be present at today's game between Feyennord and PSV Eindhoven.

And De Vrij has been ­captain of Feyennord since he was 19.

LFC Spark Scramble For De Vrij

Liverpool look set to make a move for highly-rated defender Stefan De Vrij.

De Vrij, who is currently at Feyenoord, has attracted interest from a host of Premier League clubs including Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle United.

The Dutchman turned down a move last summer to England, as he committed his future to Feyenoord.

This arguably paid off as he was made captain, taking over from Ron Vlaar, who signed for Aston Villa.

But Feyenoord are ready to cash in and Liverpool are making the most headway in terms of trying to grab his signature.

It is believed that a fee of £8m will be enough for Liverpool to land their man.

De Vrij could be just the man they are looking for as the Dutch outfit have kept four clean sheets from their first nine Eredivisie fixtures.

Stefan De Vrij On LFC Radar

Liverpool are monitoring the progress of highly-rated Feyenoord centre-back Stefan de Vrij with a view to a move next summer.

The Reds have sent scouts to watch the 20-year-old Holland international and the reports have been glowing.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers' priority is boosting his firepower in January but he's also looking beyond that window.

Liverpool would face competition for his signature with Arsenal and Chelsea having also expressed an interest in De Vrij.
