Sources: Liverpool now considering surprise move for £20m Fulham star

Joao Palhinha

One of the league’s most consistent performers this season, Fulham know they have an absolute gem in this 27-year-old Portuguese international and absolutely do not want to lose him.

He joined in the summer for £20m and the Whites have had a great season – at their current rate they might even have a chance of qualifying for European football. He’s loving his role in the team but we should be anticipating knocks at the door in the summer.

His consistency is almost unrivalled across the league for players in this position and it is understood that Liverpool and Tottenham are two of the clubs casting an eye over him at the moment. Liverpool had him on their radar even before his switch to Craven Cottage.
