Liverpool are poised to win the race for highly rated Derby midfielder Will Hughes according to Metro, with the club set to lodge a £6million bid this week.
Hughes is considered one of the best prospects in England, and Brendan Rodgers is reportedly keen to bring him to Anfield.
Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United have all been linked with the 18-year-old, who has already racked up nearly 50 first-team appearances.
But it is Liverpool who are though to be leading the race, with Rodgers ready to bid after sending chief scout Dave Fallows to check on Hughes during the England Under-21s’ win over Scotland last week.
LFC's new vice-captain Daniel Agger is quoted as confirming his commitment to the club.
Reports suggest he told the Spanish media: "It is clear that [Barcelona] is a big club, but I never thought to leave Liverpool, unless I wanted to sell.
"Persons, officials and players are an integral part of my life.
Liverpool are turning their attentions to Atletico Madrid winger Arda Turan, but could face competition from Arsenal according to reports.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been under fire to spend money on players after a dismal start to the new Premier League season, while Liverpool have also set their eyes on Turkey international Turan, it is believed.
There is good news for both Premier League clubs as Turan's agent Ahmet Bulut has confirmed the player is very interested in the English game, and that talks have taken place.
Bulut was quoted by Eurosport as saying: "Atletico Madrid do not want to sell Arda. However, if his €24m minimum release clause is activated then they will have to listen to offers. "A transfer to the Premier League is likely. There are a few clubs interested. Liverpool is one and Arsenal another. There have been no concrete offers but two clubs have spoken about wages."
