Liverpool Transfers: 5 Left-Wingers Brendan Rodgers Must Buy

3. Elijero Elia

elia Alternatively, Liverpool could rekindle their interest in Werder Bremen's Elijero Elia as Brendan Rodgers considers his options on the flanks. The Reds have a long-standing interest in the Netherlands international, dating back to his days at Hamburger SV between 2009-11. However, the Reds missed out on the 26-year-old when he instead opted for a move to Juventus. That proved to be a disastrous move however and the wideman only made four appearances before his stay was cut short following his sale to Bremen just one year later. Rodgers has been tracking the player's progress since then however and a move could be in the pipeline. Elia has been capped 27 times by the Holland senior side and has scored two international goals.
