LIVERPOOL FC are close to agreeing a deal for Celta Vigo striker Iago Aspas, report the Mirror.
The 25 year-old was allegedly subject to interest from Chelsea and Reading in January, who were both unwilling to meet the Spaniard’s €10 million release clause.
With Celta Vigo dwelling in the utter depths of the Liga BBVA, with relegation looking all but a certainty, Celta are believed to have lowered their asking price to a mere €7 million.
In addition, the versatile forward has reportedly been offered a £45, 000 per week deal by the Reds and if the reports prove to be true – is on his way to Anfield this summer.
Capable of playing in any position along the front three, with his pace, movement and sheer fortitude and tenacity being his greatest strengths Aspas certainly ticks all the boxes.
With the Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge and Fabio Borini, who has yet to prove himself might I add, the only recognized senior strikers in the Liverpool squad, it has been widely reported that Brendan Rodgers is looking to bolster his attacking options this summer, and with 11 goals and 6 assists to his name this campaign, Iago Aspas certainly looks like a decent option.

We hope dis deal do materializ.UNWA
Just do the buying, we are already linked to every available player in the world without buying not even one. Pls buy a hot striker, two solid defence and get rid of coates, then we can also buy one extra play maker to support coutinho and gerald when injured. YNWA BR
They can’t buy anyone at the moment as the transfer window doesn’t open until 1st July!! Have patients!!
Not exactly top drawer
Hope dis deal will be completed b4 d preseason comes dat will be a great plus for liverpool at a lower price YWNWA
It seems like all the signings will actually take place right on June 1st!
Begovic also seems extremely keen and the Golden Greek in Papadopoulos looks like he will be another addition!
He is as solid as it gets in defense!
YNWA
The deal can’t go through on the 1st June as the transfer window doesn’t open until 1st July!
Can’t anyone speak properly anymore?? ‘Dis and dat’. Jesus, what are the schools teaching?!

swap reina 4 tello? please stop insulting lfc and reina. Its absurd….rediculous…,,
Mr rodgers pls sign him and erikson for gud start next season
Let’s not bring another assaidi in. I wonder why Assaidi is not given chance. He has never disappointed in my own observation. Rodgers give him a chance plssssss
Assaidi is far more skilful than some regulars. He just hasn’t been given the proper chance n time on the field, Coming season we should let him run 20 mins as subs more frequently Not 3 to 5 mins or even ten once in ten games.He hardly did much wrong n surely is better than Henderson before but yet Henderson gets more runs n have improved. Assaidi will do better. Come on Brendan !!!

The problem is we still have too may average hard working players at the club who need to be shown the door:
Then the owners need to dip deep in their pockets and back B Rodgers heavily with £90-£120M between summer and January Transfer window to get club back challenging the Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham for the 3rd and 4th position in league every season.
Players who need to be shown the door: NINE players:
1: GK: B jones
2:RB: Flanagan
3: CB: Coates
4:CB: Wilson
5:DM: Spearing
6:RW: Assaidi
7:LW:Downing
8:FD: Borini
9:FD:Pacheco
Then these 9 players should be brought into club in summer:
1: A Mccarthy(23) Of Reading for £4-£6M to compete with Reina
2:CB: K Papapodolous(21) Of Schalke for £11-£14M to compete with Skrtel
3:CB: A Pearce(24) Of Reading on free Transfer to compete with every centre back at club
4:CB: M Richards(25) Of Manchester City for £10-£14M to compete with Agger
5: LB: S Umtiti(19) Of Lyon for £4-£7M to compete with Enrique
6:DM: E Capoue(24) Of Toulouse for £6-£9M to compete with Lucas
7:RW / RWF: C Tello(21) Of Barcelona for £8-£9M to compete with Sterling
8:LW / LWF: D Capel(25) Of Sporting Clube De Portugal / Sporting lisbon for £4-£7M to compete with Ibe
