Liverpool to swoop for LA LIGA STAR

Liverpool are expected to make a formal bid for Sevilla striker Carlos Bacca, following the successful signing of Roberto Firmino.

The Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is keen on signing up a new striker this summer, with the likes of Rickie Lambert and Mario Balotelli likely to exit Merseyside.

Reports in Spain claim that the Reds will make a summer offer worth £21.5m to land the Colombian's services.

However, League rivals Manchester United have emerged as a potential obstacle after expressing interest in landing the player's signature.

Bacca scored 28 goals in 55 games for the Europa League champions last season.
