Manchester City winger Adam Johnson is on allegedly Liverpool's radar.
The England speedster is reportedly weighing up his options at Eastlands after failing to hold onto a regular spot in Roberto Mancini's starting XI.
“Every footballer has to think about it when the time comes. It is still early but I definitely would consider [leaving],” Johnson told the Telegraph.
Johnson joined City from Middlesbrough last January for around £11 million and has since found himself become an increasingly influential player in the England set-up.
And now, according to Metro, Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is monitoring Johnson's situation at City with a view to making a move for the midfielder in January.
Liverpool owners NESV are keen to invest in young talent in the New Year and, at 23-years-old Johnson certainly has a bright future ahead of him.
Johnson would also provide Liverpool with some added potency going forward - something that Hodgson is keen to address having admitted that Liverpool rely too heavily on the contributions of Anfield heroes Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard.
Whether Liverpool will launch a bid for Johnson in the New Year remains to be seen, but it is sure to be a busy January at Anfield as Hodgson and NESV look to continue the rebuilding job on Merseyside.
