Liverpool have targeted Asmir Begovic in the January transfer window.

The Merseyside club went after the Stoke stopper in the summer of 2013 but were frightened off by a £15million asking price.

Instead they went for £9m Simon Mignolet.

Liverpool conceded 50 Premier League goals in Mignolet’s first season - a record for a team finishing runners-up.

Begovic, 27, now has only 20 months left on his Stoke contract and might be prised away for around £10m.
