Liverpool keen on Papadopoulos, Rojo

Daily Express has suggested that Liverpool are weighing up moves for Kyriakos Papadopoulos and Marcos Rojo as they bid to reinforce their back line.

Brendan Rodgers expects to stay without Daniel Agger at the end of the current campaign and he sees the Schalke starlet as a good long-term replacement.

Liverpool have been keeping close tabs on Kyriakos Papadopoulos for over a year now, but they have recently been alerted by the player’s situation at Veltins Arena.

Namely, the Greece international has been unable to break into the starting line-up after recovering from a difficult injury and there is every chance he will be interested in a move to Anfield.

Meanwhile, the Reds are stepping up efforts to sign Argentine full-back Marcos Rojo from Sporting Lisbon.

Liverpool emerged as favourites for the Premier League trophy after defeating Manchester City and Norwich, with the Reds 4/6 to see off Chelsea as well.
