Sports Direct News reports that Premier League giants Liverpool have entered the race to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Toni Kroos.
Liverpool’s fiercest rival Manchester United were the first club to show interest in the 24-year-old midfielder. But now if rumours are to be believed, Reds boss Brendan Rodgers too is keen to rope in the German.
The Liverpool midfield had performed impressively so far this season under Rodgers, but the loss of Lucas Leiva to injury and Steven Gerrard’s rapidly advancing years has highlighted a need for world class replacements.
