Liverpool open to completing January deal for highly talented 23-yr-old centre back

Championship outfit Reading are looking to sign the out of favour Liverpool defender Tiago Ilori.

The Portuguese centre-back joined Liverpool from Sporting Lisbon in 2013 and has made just three senior appearances for the Reds. Ilori cost Liverpool around £7m and the Merseyside giants will be looking to recoup most of that if they were to sanction a move.

Guardian are reporting that Reading manager Jaap Stam is eyeing up a move for Ilori, but the deal would have to be a loan for now.
