Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers could be turning his attention to Germany in the bid to add some strength to his squad after he was linked with Schalke pair Lewis Holtby and Julian Draxler.
Rodgers has admitted that he is working hard to bring new faces to the club and it seems the two German internationals could be the players that he wants to sign in the coming weeks.
Goal.com has reported that while Draxler will be difficult to tear away from Schalke, Holtby could be an easier target as he has just one year remaining on his contract and his links with Liverpool.
Holtby might play for Germany but the 21-year-old's father is from Liverpool and he was actually raised as a Everton fan.
Draxler, 18, has a contract until 2016 and is the youngest player ever to represent the German side in the Bundesliga after making his way through the youth academy.
He scored five goals last season while mainly being used on the left of midfield, while Holtby made a tootle of 41 appearances in all competitions and scored nine goals.
Liverpool had been linked heavily with Joe Allen of Swansea but the club have refused to let him leave and Holtby could well be an alternative.
