Liverpool eyeing move for Hoffenheim playmaker

Liverpool are reportedly monitoring the progress of Hoffenheim star Roberto Firmino, with a view to a summer transfer offer for his services.

The Metro claims that the Reds boss Brendan Rodgers considers the talented 22-year-old as a top transfer target for the summer, as he prepares to challenge for the Premier League crown in the next campaign.

The Bundesliga outfit are believed to be open to the sale of their star midfielder for a fee in the region of £12m.

Liverpool have been in great form this season, and a top-four finish could help the club attract players of high calibre during the summer transfer window.
