Liverpool To Sign Impressive £12m Midfielder As Lucas Leiva Heads For Anfield Exit

It seems that Lucas Leiva has a fair few detractors among the Liverpool faithful so the idea of the Brazilian leaving the club will please many and the idea that impressive Swiss international Gokhan Inler may take his place would probably make quite a few Anfield supporters doubly happy.

The Udinese man has been a consistent performer in Serie A for four years now and the £12m rated 26 year old has been linked with a move away from Italy for some time and it appears that Roy Hodgson is a big fan and wants to bring him to Merseyside.

Clearly as former boss of the Switzerland national team Hodgson will have done his homework on Inler who is a good box to box player with a great engine and the physicality to make it in the Premier League. Quite where Lucas may head is another matter.

Rafa Benitez was reported to have been interested in bringing the 23 year old to the San Siro but talk of that potential transfer seems to have faded of late.
