Liverpool set to land Steven Caulker in coming months after missing out on Cardiff defender last summer
Liverpool are ready to capitalise on Cardiff's relegation to finally land Steven Caulker.
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers wanted Caulker last summer but Spurs refused to sell to their rivals.
They instead flogged former England U21 and Great Britain stopper Caulker to Cardiff for a smaller £8million fee but with a 50 % sell-on clause.
The Bluebirds captain, 22, has had a decent campaign despite the Welsh club being bottom.
He has scored five goals and Rodgers, who had Caulker on loan at Swansea in 2011/2012, now wants to finally get his man.
Caulker has a relegation release clause which Liverpool now plan to activate.

Not sure what to make of this really. Would be a good 4th choice if we move Kolo on and loan Ilori out again but I'm not sure he's that leader we're looking for at the back.
