LIVERPOOL are desperate to land Moses Simon - dubbed the Nigerian Ronaldo - according to reports in Turkey.
Simon, 19, plays for Belgian Jupiler Pro League side Gent.
The winger has two caps for Nigeria.
And according to the Metro Liverpool are set to beat Tottenham and Fenerbahce to his signature this summer.
Rodgers admitted this week he needed to add to his squad as they look to mount a challenge on the top four.
The Reds finished second last season but have dropped out of contention this year, currently sitting fifth seven points behind Manchester United, but have a game in hand.
Liverpool have been dealt a blow for this season though with the announcement that Daniel Sturridge may miss the rest of the campaign
It has been difficult for Daniel,” said Brendan Rodgers. “Daniel is a good lad. He wants to play and he wants to be working and helping.
“It has been one of those seasons where he has been very unfortunate and just missed out. We are just going to have to monitor that day by day.
"When he has been fit he has been brilliant for the team. The key now is getting him back consistent and playing for the team.
We will see if that is going to be this season or pre-season.
“It is not am I tempted to leave him out? It is that he is not available.
"We will do what is in the best interests for him. We have to make sure Daniel is here for the next numbers of years, playing to the level we all know he can.”
