Liverpool are on the verge of completing a \u00a315m swoop for Bayern Munich ace Xherdan Shaqiri.<\/p>\n
The Swiss international is keen on a move to Anfield after failing to secure regular first-team football under Pep Guardiola at the German giants.<\/p>\n
The Reds have also agreed a five-year deal with Sevilla left-back Alberto Moreno.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old is set to seal his \u00a318m move next week.<\/p>\n

However, the Gunners boss is set to miss out on bringing striker Carlos Vela back to the club.<\/p>\n
Mexican ace Vela would prefer a switch to Atletico Madrid, who have highlighted him as David Villa’s replacement.<\/p>\n
Another man not heading to the Emirates is Karim Benzema.<\/p>\n
The Real Madrid man is keen to stay in the Spanish capital, and wants to see Liverpool striker Luis Suarez join him at the Bernabeu this summer.<\/p>\n

Liverpool will wrap up the \u00a39.75m deal for Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Emre Can, subject to documentation being completed.<\/p>\n
Newcastle are tracking Ajax midfielder Siem de Jong after snubbing his brother Luke.<\/p>\n

But that has not put off the Magpies pursuing his sibling, who impressed for Ajax last campaign.<\/p>\n
And finally former Manchester United boss David Moyes wants to return to management – but only with a Champions League club.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
