Liverpool eye move for Benfica starlet


Liverpool are set to battle it out with Swansea City for the services of Benfica winger Ola John on loan in the winter transfer window.

The Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is keen on adding a few recruits in January, as he aims to strengthen the club's attack-front, and has been linked with the likes of Cristian Tello and Mohamed Salah in recent weeks.


Ola John is considered as a top target for the Reds, who could be set to fight off interest from the likes of Swansea City and Dutch giants Ajax to secure his services on a temporary basis during the transfer window.


The 21-year-old winger joined Benfica from FC Twente in 2012.
