Liverpool to make bid for Emre Can

Liverpool have made an offer for Germany under-21 international midfielder Emre Can. Bayer Leverkusen have confirmed that a bid has been made for the German youngster.

Michael Schade the Leverkusen chief executive has confirmed that Liverpool have tabled a bid: "Until Tuesday, it was a rumour. Now I can confirm that an official offer from Liverpool is received by mail.''
