Liverpool Tracking Valencia Playmaker

Brendan Rodgers is debating whether to make a £9 million move for Valencia midfielder Sofaine Feghouli.

The Reds boss is targeting four signings ahead of next season as he bids to push the club towards Champions League qualification, with a playmaker among the areas set to be strengthened.

Valencia midfielder Feghouli is thought to be on Rodgers' shortlist, along with Newcastle winger Hatem Ben Arfa, Fiorentina's Mounir El Hamdaoui and Ajax star Christian Eriksen.

According to reports in his homeland, Liverpool is prepared to offer around £9m to sign the 23-year-old former Grenoble player.

Algerian newspaper Le Buteur states that the Merseyside club is tracking Feghouli with a view to a bid this summer, although the Los Che star is not pushing for a move.

With his current contract set to run until 2016 after a recent extension, Valencia could play hard-ball with Liverpool for Feghouli who they value at closer to £15m.
