# Leicester and Southampton join hunt for Liverpool ace

[![Allen](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Allen-500x366.jpg)](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Allen.jpg?admin)Many Liverpool fans in the Transfer Tavern have been speculating over the past few days as to who will be part of Jurgen Klopp’s long-term plans and who won’t.

One player who looks to be on his way out of Anfield is midfielder Joe Allen, with L[eicester City, Southampton and Stoke City preparing to go into battle](https://www.shoot.co.uk/premier-league-trio-chase-liverpool-flop/?) with each other for the Welshman’s signature,[according to Shoot.](https://www.shoot.co.uk/premier-league-trio-chase-liverpool-flop/?)

Allen is very much a Brendan Rodgers player with the ex-Liverpool boss taking him from Swansea City back in 2012 and it doesn’t look as though the 25-year-old is fancied by new boss Klopp.

One Reds punter who is happily tapping away on his smartphone whilst he drinks his pint thinks Allen is a good enough player for the three club’s he has been linked with, but does feel that his days as a Liverpool player are numbered in the wake of Rodgers’ departure.

**Liverpool fans…. Do you agree? Is Allen surplus to requirements these days? Would he need to be replaced? Let us know in the comments below!**
