4) Matteo Darmian (Torino)
The 25-year-old has flourished since making the step-up to the Italian national team last season. The former AC Milan youngster can play on the right or left, potentially offering Rodgers just what he’s looking for. He’s scored four goals and provided two assists so far this season, proving that he likes to get forward when possible.
3) Aaron Cresswell (West Ham)
One of the bargain buys of last summer, having joined the Hammers from Championship side Ipswich. He’s played all 34 league games so far this season, scoring twice. His form has reportedly attracted the interest of Manchester City (via the Express), while the Echo believe the 25-year-old is on the cusp of the England team.
