Liverpool in advanced talks to sign Wanyama.

Exclusive: Liverpool Close to Completing Deals to Sign £37m Midfield Pair as Brendan Rodgers Looks to Finish Summer Spending Early

Anfield side push on with summer squad re-building.

Though Liverpool have already invested in four new summer signings Brendan Rodgers is said to be close to bringing in another pair of top quality talents to further strengthen an Anfield squad he hopes will successfully secure a coveted top four spot next term.

CaughtOffside understands that as well as a move to finally land long term target Henrikh Mkhitaryan the Merseyside club are also in advanced talks to sign Celtic youngster Victor Wanyama in a double swoop that will set Liverpool back a combined fee in the region of £37m.

Liverpool have reportedly agreed a £25m fee for Armenian goal-scoring midfielder Mkhitaryan and are hoping to bring in the Shakhtar Donestk man for a medical and to iron out personal terms this week, with Rodgers looking to push through a deal before other interested parties threaten to hijack their ongoing move for the 24 year old.


The Liverpool manager is also hoping to see off other interested Premier League sides with a £12m bid for Celtic’s tough tackling youngster Victor Wanyama, knowing that his side would stand a very good chance of beating both Cardiff City and Southampton, two sides known to have registered bids for the Kenyan international, to the signing of the 22 year old.

The Nairobi born box to box performer is seen by Rodgers as a player who can both protect the club’s more creative talents whilst also offering a very real goal threat and Liverpool are said to have scouted Wanyama extensively and were particularly impressed by his displays in Celtic’s Champions League run.

Great we lose Wanyama and Ince in one day

If we lost Wanyama I'd be gutted. Ince, not at all as there is better out there but Wanyama for our level would be a major coup.

FFS. I hope Brenda gets the sack and Kenny takes back over so they can get Ince for £20m instead.

Doubt it is true.

Brenda has won the euromillions has he?

if you are believing caughtoffside then you've got a big problem

We can't lose what we never had.

Welcome to the big leagues.

Brenda has won the euromillions has he?

Well, considering Liverpool's owners are worth $1.5 billion, I would think he has a bit of money to spend.

Can't disagree with you there. Hope it's not true. Scouse cunts.

Don't know where Liverpool came from, no previous link but if true it would be a big loss.

Unless a player signs on the dotted line nothing can be taken for granted !

Never thought for a second we would get wanjama

In my opinion it will be a huge loss if Wanyama doesn't sign for us, he's a great player whom I reckon is destined for the top.

We can't lose what we never had.

This ^^^^

They've got Henderson and bidding for Mhkitryan?

They also have Lucas,Gerrard and spent £24 Million on Allen last season.

Rodgers will to keep everyone happy

Posted earlier that Liverpool might make a move for him but like I said,Liverpool are top heavy in midfield,they may sell Lucas though,as for Caught Offside,I'd believe old Nick first.

Liverpool seem to be interested in everyone if you believe all these reports . I do fear that they are our biggest rival to take Wanayma thou. Watch out for Chelsea on a late bid also.

Wanyama is quoted as saying he is at the stage of his career where he wants to be playing week in week out. He's not established or proven in the premier league so would have more chance of regular football with us.

Wanyama is currently in Germany with the Cetic squad and they are out there for a fortnight, if anyone was showing great interest in him then i feel he would not have travelled, the saga continues.

I read one of the links on here earlier that Neil Lennon said Wanyama wasnt traveling with the squad?

Ohh sorry mate I typed wanyama's name into goggle and searched within the last hour and that article came up so I thought it was new

Caught Offside are unreliabl and just copy Sky etc for news. As Nobby said, Wanyama travelled to Germany with Hooper etc to train, if a deal was close he wouldn't have travelled

Sky sports report said he WAS on the flight but it did not actually show him in the airport so who knows.

No worries,the bullshit brigade is worse that I've ever seen now that were in the prem and they are just as bad on here.The signing of Cornelius caught out everyone as none saw it coming.there are 1 or 2 on here thats worth paying attention to but there are others who like to deceive because it gives them a hard-on.

if a deal is done he will be back to sign simple. no news

They also have Lucas,Gerrard and spent £24 Million on Allen last season.

Rodgers will to keep everyone happy

Allen was 15m. In terms of Wanyama I don't believe there has been any report from a reliable source that we are interested in him. Would be a great signing though whichever side he goes to. Made for the Premier League in my opinion.

Allen £15m. The gypos stitched you up there.
Then they did Man City for £5.5m for Sinclair.
