4. Keisuke Honda
The Japanese attacking midfielder is out of contract at current club CSKA Moscow and will be moving on this summer, and Liverpool, as well as Arsenal, Tottenham and AC Milan,
are all in the frame for his signature. The prospect of landing the 27-year-old on a free is an attractive one for Brendan Rodgers, and there's no doubting that Honda would add more of a cutting edge to the Red's attack force next season. The Japan international was one of the stand-out players from the Confederations Cup recently, and came close to helping the
Blue Samurai beat Italy in what would have been a memorable victory. Liverpool want to bring him to Anfield this summer, according to reports, and though the 27-year-old does not meet Rodgers' policy of signing young talent, he does represent a bargain that would be difficult to turn down. Honda scored 9 goals in 28 overall appearances last term, and can play as a central attacking midfielder, a second striker or a deep-lying playmaker.
