10 Potential Transfers That Will Affect Title Race
5. Jefferson Farfan To Liverpool
Name: Jefferson Farfan Club: Schalke Age: 29 The pacy Peruvian winger is currently involved in a lot of speculation, most notably from the Liverpool Echo, which mentions him moving to the red half of Liverpool. Brendan Rodgers is said to be on the market for a winger this January to support his SAS strike force and Farfan could be the perfect man for the job. His pace causes defenders a lot of trouble and he has an eye for goal, as well as supporting the strikers in his side wonderfully. Having played alongside Klass Jan-Huntelaar, Farfan would have no trouble providing the goals for a hungry Luis Suarez and he would link in well with the style of football that Rodgers is implementing on his Liverpool side. The only potential downfall of this transfer is his price tag. Rodgers rates the player at around £11 million but Schalke are after a figure nearer the £15 million mark. However, Liverpool may be willing to spend a little more than they planned if they decide that Farfan is the player to help them continue their fantastic season.
