Liverpool to swoop for Portuguese midfield star?

Liverpool are reportedly interested in landing Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves this month.

The Reds have been poor in the Premier League this term and they have picked up only 28 points at the halfway stage.

A top-four finish looks a difficult challenge at the moment and this could force the club to pursue more signings this winter.

Neves has been on their radar for a while and The Mirror claim that they could make a serious approach for his signature.

The Portuguese has snubbed a new deal with Wolves and he will enter the final year of his contract at the end of the season.

The Midlands outfit are reluctant to lose him for a bargain price and this could urge them to cash in on his services now.

Neves has been a key figure in the centre of the park for Wolves with his exceptional defensive skills. He would fit in perfectly at Liverpool.

Wolves could demand around £50m for his departure.
