According to the Express, Liverpool have made a £5 million bid for Fulham wonder kid Patrick Roberts as they seek replacements for the £49 million departure of Raheem Sterling.
The youngster has been the center of much transfer talk this summer with Premier League giants Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City all having been linked with the 18 year-old.
Manchester City had a bid of £8 million rejected so it is very likely that Liverpool’s bid will be rejected – especially as the Cottagers know how much money they have to spend.
However, Fulham are struggling to tie down their prized asset as Roberts has reportedly turned down a £5,000 a week contract with the aim of playing top flight football next season.
A £10 million price tag has been put on the forward, who broke into the first team at Craven Cottage last season making 20 appearances in all competitions.
