Liverpool Transfers: 11 Essential Signings To Win The League Next Year

5. Yann M'Vila

Current Club: Rubin Kazan Though he spurned rumoured interest from the Premier League in January last year and moved to Russia with Rubin Kazan, the French enforcer is apparently available again this summer, and has immediately attracted rumoured interest from Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham among others. The tough-tackling defensive midfielder was linked strongly with a move to Anfield in January, but he was dissuaded from joining Brendan Rodgers' by Rubin coach Ribat Bilyaletdinov, who told him he wasn't up to the task, as he admitted to France Football: "In January M'Vila behaved badly - one day he trained, one day he didn't. Maybe his agents had promised him something. He thought he was already in Liverpool. I told him: 'It is not your level. If you go, you will be on the bench'. He was very disappointed." Bilyaletdinov also admitted he didn't know where to play M'Vila, and it seems he will be on the move in the summer, which should suit Liverpool who need to add more defensive options to their midfield.
