Liverpool set to complete £40m deal for Sterling replacement?

According to Portuguese newspaper, O Jogo, Liverpool are set to complete the signing of Argentine winger, Eduardo Salvio.

The Portuguese paper claim that the Reds have been tracking Salvio’s progress this season and are keen to reunite the Benfica winger with his former teammate, Lazar Markovic.

Liverpool have lacked an attacking threat from wide positions this season and with the impending departure of Raheem Sterling, the reds will need to strengthen their wide options.

Brendan Rodgers’ side have been linked with the likes of Ayew and Konoplyanka, but it is understood that the Norther Irishman has identified Salvio as the ideal candidate for his side.
