Liverpool looking to tie up Xherdan Shaqiri deal

Xherdan Shaqiri is currently with the Switzerland squad in Russia for the World Cup

After losing out on signing Nabil Fekir from Lyon in a deal that was scuttled by the Ligue 1 club at the last minute, Liverpool have now moved their attention to Xherdan Shaqiri.

The Swiss midfielder was made to suffer the ignominy of relegation with Stoke City and he clearly wants to move on from the Potters rather than play in the second tier of English football.

The 26-year-old was arguably the club's best player and has a release clause of around £12m in his contract. And Mirror claim Liverpool are keen to move forward with the deal.

However, they will have to wait until the World Cup is done and dusted. Or at least until the Swiss are knocked out.
