Liverpool eye deal for Sevilla left-back Alberto Moreno?

Liverpool are reportedly considering a summer swoop for Sevilla left-back Alberto Moreno.

Manager Brendan Rodgers is expected to strengthen his squad this summer, with particular focus on his current leaky defence.

Jon Flanagan, who is a natural right-back, filled in for Jose Enrique, who was ruled out for the remainder of the 2013-14 campaign from November due to a knee injury.

Loan signing Aly Cissokho failed to make the left-back role his own when he temporarily joined from Valencia, which indicates that Rodgers is in the market for a new player in that position.

According to ESPN, Moreno is an option for the Reds, who may be required to pay £15m for the 21-year-old's services.

The Spaniard was part of the Sevilla squad that won the Europa League on Wednesday night by beating Benfica 4-2 on penalties.
