# Liverpool to beat Tottenham to the signing of exciting French midfield star?

[![Rodgers.jpg](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Rodgers-500x393.jpg)](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Rodgers.jpg?admin)More interesting news for Liverpool Fans inside the Transfer Tavern today and once more it is potential deal for an exciting midfielder that is the rumour circulating amongst the regulars.

[The Metro](https://metro.co.uk/2015/07/26/liverpool-take-lead-in-jordan-veretout-transfer-race-because-tottenham-have-too-many-midfielders-5313285/) are reporting that Liverpool are ready to pay just over £10 million to bring Jordan Veretout, currently of Nantes in Ligue 1, to Merseyside.

While the player, who has made a reputation of dictating play in the middle of the park, he may not be seen as a ‘dream signing’ for the Liverpool fans here in the Tavern, our landlord had something to say about about this rumour as he so usually does.

“Every season there is always a few surprise packages who really thrive in the Premier league, I reckon this lad could be one of those and Liverpool could definitely do with some strengthening in midfield since Stevie G left.”

The Frenchman, aged just 22, has played over 100 games for Nantes scoring 14 times. Whilst he has played every age group since U-18, he may well decide to make the move to the Premier league to boost his chances of breaking into the France National team senior squad in time for the Euros.
