LIVERPOOL are lining up a £7million swoop for Celtic star Ki Sung-Yueng.
SunSport understands new Anfield boss Brendan Rodgers has the South Korean high on his wishlist of summer signing targets.
But he faces a fight to land the Parkhead midfield star, with clubs across Europe showing interest in Ki.
SunSport can reveal QPR, Rubin Kazan and Deportivo La Coruna are all keen to land the 23-year-old. There is also strong interest in Ki from Germany with several Bundesliga clubs monitoring his situation but Liverpool lead the way.
Rodgers is on the hunt for midfielders to suit the passing style he wants his side to play.
Ki’s age and ability make him a leading contender to team up with Kop and England skipper Steven Gerrard, below.
QPR will not give up without a fight.
Chairman Tony Fernandes said last night: “Ki is a very good player and we are very aware of him.
“He is a player we will be watching and also monitoring closely.”
Ki said last week he will wait until after the Olympics to decide his future. However, with a transfer battle heating up, Liverpool and QPR are likely to act much earlier.
Hoops boss Neil Lennon is a big fan of Ki but with 18 months left on his contract, Celtic would make a huge profit on the player signed from FC Seoul for £2m in 2010.
