According to the likes of the Express and Sunday Mirror in the past 24 hours, Liverpool are believed to be looking at Stoke City’s Asmir Begovic to replace Simon Mignolet as Liverpool’s new number one ‘keeper.

A handful of other goalkeepers were looked at over the summer, whilst former Barcelona star, Victor Valdes, was thought to be joining Liverpool this month before the club turned down his demands after only offering the ‘keeper a short-term, play-as-you-play contract.

Since then, Mignolet’s form hasn’t just plateaued, it’s actually become much worse and a number of his errors have led to Liverpool conceding either chances or goals and his lack of the attributes to influence the four players in front of him has started to become a huge problem in the Reds back-line.

Along with Lloris, Cech and Courtios, Begovic is seen as one of the top goalkeepers in the Premier League and the only surprising thing about his career is that he has spent so much of it at Stoke but if Liverpool hope to steal him from his current side, they will have to part with at least £10 million.

Considering that the wilting Mignolet and his alternative appear unable to look like a top class ‘keeper, it’s unlikely that even a fee of that size will see the club shy away, if the rumours prove to be true.

Is Begovic the sort of player that Liverpool should be after, or would it be better to look further afield for a new number one goalie?

    I would have loved to see him in reds shirt… Bring him in!

    Was Mignolet better than Reina?. Why was Reina sold?. He was sold because Rogers believe he want to do things his own way. If Reina was around last season, Liverpool would have won the league considering the types of goals Mignolet conceded last season. Rogers should listen to pundits..

  • Erin says:

    What difference is it going to make? Within 3 months he will end up like mignolet. Buy any goalkeeper, defender and watch their performance drop!

  • Diego Digger Suarez says:

    Should have signed Bego first. Too late now for Rodgers.
