Liverpool and Everton to battle for Sergio Romero

Liverpool and Everton look set to battle it out for the services of Sampdoria goalkeeper Sergio Romero in the winter transfer window.

The talented shot-stopper had a great outing for the Argentine national side during the World Cup finals at Brazil, and his performances had attracted interest from Manchester United over the summer.

According to talkSPORT, the Reds and the Toffees will go head-to-head for the player's services in the New Year.

The report adds that the 27-year-old is likely to be sold in January given his existing contract expires at the end of the season.
