Liverpool FC are locked in a battle with Tottenham for Brazilian winger Willian.

Both clubs have held talks with Anzhi Makhachkala and are willing to meet the Russian outfit’s asking price of around £28million.

Much now hinges on the Reds’ ability to agree personal terms with the 25-year-old and convince him that Anfield would be the ideal destination.

Willian is considering the rival offers and is expected to make a decision about his future in the next 48 hours.

Aly Cissokho is set to undergo a medical today ahead of completing his season-long loan move to Liverpool from Valencia.

The Reds have the option to sign the French left-back on a permanent basis for around £4million next summer.

The ECHO understands Liverpool have also renewed their pursuit of Sporting Lisbon centre-back Tiago Ilori.

Rodgers was keen to wrap up a deal back in June but talks between the clubs broke down.

The Reds had a bid of around £3million rejected with Sporting demanding more than double that amount.

However, Ilori’s refusal to pen a new contract in Portugal has given Liverpool hope that a compromise fee can now be agreed for the 20-year-old.

The Reds were represented at Sporting’s game against Arouca yesterday and further discussions were held with the young defender’s representatives.
