Liverpool Transfer News: Rodgers Keen On £4m Belgian Starlet

By Simon Gallagher /

Is Brendan Rodgers about to boost his midfield options with a move for an Anderlecht wonderkid? According to talkSPORT, Liverpool are monitoring 18-year-old Anderlecht midfielder Dennis Praet, who is the latest talent to emerge from the country and who broke into the Anderlecht first-team last season, making seven appearances from the bench. This season, Praet has built on those appearances, starting five times so far and scoring his first senior goal in the Champions League qualifying match against Ekranas - and according to talkSPORT, attracting the attentions of "several European clubs," including Liverpool, who they say are leading the chase for the midfielder that the report values at £4m. Praet put in a strong performance at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium on Friday night for Anderlecht's game against Waasland-Beveren, helping his team to a comfortable win that keeps his side level with Club Brugge at the top of the table. Praet is pacey, and would represent another option to Rodger's paper-thin attack if the Northern Irish manager is indeed interested in his signature, as this report suggests. He would follow the trend of youthful additions that Liverpool signed over the summer with Joe Allen, Oussama Assaidi, Samed Yesil and Fabio Borini all joining. Should Rodgers bring in Praet as his next signing when the window opens again in January?
