# 5 World Cup Group E stars that Liverpool should be signing

![Xherdan Shaqiri](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/3497127-150x150.jpg)Liverpool are the first Premier League side to have sprung a transfer surprise this summer, following their £4million capture of Rickie Lambert from Southampton earlier this week.

The 32-year-old has become the Reds first signing of what is set to be a busy summer for Brendan Rodgers, who is tasked with adding depth to a squad that will have the added task of Champions League football next season.

The Reds overachieved last season with a second placed finish, and whilst they narrowly missed out on the Premier League title, the priority of bringing Champions League football back to Anfield was achieved with a bit to spare.

That has seen an extra injection of cash brought in, and Rodgers like every other manager will be keeping a close eye on the World Cup in the hope of spotting some potential bargains and new recruits.

Strengthening a defence that conceded 50 Premier League goals last season is seen as a priority, whilst the Liverpool boss also hopes to add more depth to a midfield and strikeforce that would become vulnerable were injuries to strike.

With the World Cup just over one week away, we have taken a look through some of the stars that will be on show in Group E, and identified five that would be a good fit at Anfield.
