Xherdan Shaqiri Keen On Cut-Price Liverpool Move

Exciting Swiss winger Xherdan Shaqiri is hoping that Liverpool revive their interest in him and make a move to sign him during the January transfer window.

Shaqiri was one of the youngest players to go to the World Cup, testament to his potential. The 18-year-old's pace and dribbling ability helped FC Basel to the league and cup double last term as he contributed six goals and five assists in his debut season.

Liverpool was reportedly taking note of Shaqiri last season, but their interest faded with the Anfield exit of Rafa Benitez.

Now, the News of the World reports that Shaqiri hopes that his spectacular goal against England last week will be enough for Liverpool to revive their interest. He will reportedly be available for around £2million in January.

Current Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson will certainly have no problem doing his homework on Shaqiri, having previously coached the Swiss national team.
