A second source has confirmed that Liverpool are the club in the lead for a Real Madrid star who has been the subject of 'fresh contacts' from the Reds.

Steven Gerrard has described the limitations of Liverpool after they were downed 2-1 by Brighton following their big Champions League victory in the week.

Despite never having scored in the Premier League after being signed in the summer, Tottenham are reportedly interested in landing a striker from a direct rival.

Paul Merson has detailed exactly when he believes Arsenal can "start believing" in the quadruple, as he feels the Premier League is "done" already.

A Liverpool star who is "frustrated" by his current role has clubs who "love" him, but he now has a perfect opportunity to stake his claim at Anfield.
