Jonjo Shelvey faces a fight for his Liverpool FC future as the Reds look to continue their summer rebuilding programme.

The England midfielder is one of a number of players who will speak with Reds boss Brendan Rodgers in the next few weeks, in order to ascertain whether or not they are surplus to requirements at Anfield.

With Rodgers having added to his attacking options with the signings of Luis Alberto and Iago Aspas, and with the Reds still keen on a deal for Shakhtar Donetsk’s Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Shelvey’s first-team opportunities are likely to be severely limited next season.

The former Charlton Athletic man made a total of 33 appearances last season. But having impressed initially, he found himself largely out of favour towards the back end of the campaign.

He has started just two league games in 2013, and the ECHO understands Liverpool would be willing to listen to offers for the 21-year-old.

They are, however, likely to demand a fee in excess of £6m for a player who won his first senior England cap last November.

Shelvey has been linked with a move to Swansea City, and the ECHO understands there is interest from the Welsh club, as well as Norwich City. No bids have been received at this stage, however.

Oussama Assaidi will also be allowed to leave this summer, less than a year after joining from Heerenveen. The Moroccan wide man is attracting interest from PSV Eindhoven, who would like to take him on loan.

Liverpool, though, would prefer a permanent deal. The 24-year-old cost the Reds £2.4m last August, but has made just four league appearances since.

Also likely to exit this summer is Jay Spearing, who spent the whole of last season on loan with Championship side Bolton Wanderers.

Spearing his been back at Melwood this week working on his fitness, having missed the back end of the campaign with a foot injury. He, like Shelvey, is yet to meet with Rodgers, but it is understood that Liverpool are prepared to let the 24-year-old leave.

The midfielder is expected to be valued around the £3m mark.
