But with Lucas sustaining damage to his knee during 2-0 win over Chelsea in the Carling Cup, Kenny Dalglish’s hand looks like being forced much sooner than expected. The club announced the defensive midfielder will be ruled out for the remainder of the season.
Liverpool have been alarmed by the loss and have thus far only revoked the loan clause of Jonjo Shelvey to bring the player back to Anfield. However, Shelvey is clearly not a player in the mould of Lucas and was excelling in his short spell with the Tangerines in a more attacking role.
Leroy Fer only joined FC Twente during the summer, following three seasons with Feyenoord, in which he established himself as vice-captain and earned a call up to the Dutch national team.
It's thought a bid in the region of around £10 million would be enough secure his services, and with Fer being at home anywhere in the back four as well as defensive midfield, he would provide manager Dalglish with plenty of options.
