Liverpool are set to make a January bid for Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Granit Xhaka.

Reds scouts have been working on a list of possible targets, and 21-year-old Xhaka tops the list, having proven himself as a star in German football.

The Switzerland international was a target for Liverpool whilst at Basle, and he's been followed closely ever since.

A strong, aggressive and powerful central midfielder with an excellent passing range, he has been compared to Steven Gerrard in the past, and Brendan Rodgers is keen to bring him to Merseyside.

It's thought that Monchengladbach have been made aware of Liverpool's interest, and would be open to doing business if a sizeable offer arrived.

Xhaka, who was linked with Manchester United in the summer, is valued at about £15million but it would likely take a bid closer to £20million to do business.
