Stephane Mbia for Liverpool

Stephane Mbia is reportedly the subject of interest from several teams in the Premiership, including Liverpool. Apparently, the Cameroonian has been approached already with regard to a summer switch.

The Rennes midfielder is valued at around £5 million, and a highly impressive African Cup of Nations tournament has seen his stock rise considerably.

The 21 year old is capable of playing in both defender or midfield, and Rafa Benitez is reportedly on the look out for replacements for John Arne Riise, who is keen to make a move elsewhere with both Newcastle and Aston Villa linked to the Norweigan.

Mbia revealed: "I've received offers from some big clubs, and will think hard about them once the season is over.

"I have had contacts from Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool. Barcelona and Lyon are also interested, as are clubs in Italy."
