Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers interested in Cardiff City's Steven Caulker?

Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Steven Caulker from Cardiff City in the summer.

According to The Telegraph, Reds manager Brendan Rodgers is looking to recruit a centre-back at the end of the season and has identified the 22-year-old as a potential target.

Caulker, who joined Cardiff from Tottenham Hotspur last summer for £8.5m, worked with the Northern Irishman at Swansea City in the 2011-12 season during a loan spell from Spurs.

However, the report adds that Liverpool's transfer committee has yet to confirm if it is willing to back Rodgers in his attempt to sign Caulker.
