Liverpool’s spending spree set to continue with the signing of highly-rated Swedish youngster
The Northern Irish coach has already secured the signings of James Milner, Adam Bogdan, Danny Ings, Joe Gomez and Brazilian playmaker Roberto Firmino, so it’s perhaps no surprise that the Liverpool manager would look to find buyers for less effective members of his squad.

It was always going to prove tough to fill the spot vacated by Luis Suarez, who helped Barcelona to a spectacular treble in his debut season at the Nou Camp, but nonetheless Rodgers couldn’t have expected Balotelli to prove quite so ineffective.
The forward managed just one goal in 15 Premier League appearances and one wonders how much Liverpool could recoup of their original outlay in the forward.
