Liverpool Transfers: 5 Players Brendan Rodgers Must Sign To Stop The Rot

2. Ander Herrera

22 year old Herrera was one of the more impressive players in Athletic Bilbao's side last season as the Basques went on quite an incredible run in Europe, knocking Manchester United out of the Europa League before progressing to the final. He has been lauded by some as "the next Cesc Fabregas" and perhaps unsurprisingly, Arsenal have been linked with him in the past during his days at Real Zaragoza after losing the current Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona. Herrera is said to be valued at about £16million, and after Liverpool reportedly made initial inquiries into his availability in the summer, Rodgers might be tempted to go back in with a concrete offer.
