Liverpool are hoping secure the signature of Ukrainian attacker Yevhen Konoplyanka from Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk before the end of the January transfer window in a deal that could cost in excess of £15m.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers revealed last night in the post-match against Everton that the Reds were still hopeful of landing a "major signing" and have opened talks with the 24-year-old's club.

So far this season the winger has played 23 games, and contributed to 14 goals (9 scored, 5 assisted).
Konoplyanka has been repeatedly linked with a move to the Premier League since impressing at Euro 2012 with Manchester United and Arsenal among his suitors.
Liverpool hope to conclude negotiations swiftly for the 24-year-old having been foiled by Chelsea in their pursuit for Mohammed Salah as they look to build on the momentum of their Merseyside derby victory.
