New Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is plotting to snatch Gylfi Sigurdsson from the under the noses of his former club Swansea, according to The Sun. As recently as 10 days ago, Rodgers was trying to secure the signing of his end of season starlet at the Liberty Stadium but now he is being named Liverpool boss, he will being trying his best to persuade Sigurdsson to NOT join Swansea. Swansea have a agreed a £7 million deal with Hoffenheim for the 22-year-old Icelandic ace who was on loan at the club last season but the player has yet to agree terms on a permanent deal at the Welsh club. Rodgers knows more than anyone how good Sigurdsson is and believes he can have the same kind of impact at Anfield. Rodgers said publicly;
If he comes on the market, Ill be interested.
Daily Star also reports today that Rodgers wants to bring Joe Allen to Anfield but as he has made a deal with his former club no to sign any of their players for 12 months, he will have to look elsewhere in the short term. One target could be Fulham's skilful Clint Dempsey who is interested in moving to a bigger club after believing he can't take Fulham any higher than mid table.
