The West Bromwich Albion midfielder is reportedly being targeted by Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace are eager to strengthen their squad before the transfer window closes on Wednesday night, with manager Roy Hodgson assessing the options available to him.
As reported by The Daily Mail, Hodgson is interested in signing Jake Livermore, but it is questionable whether the West Bromwich Albion midfielder would be a wise move.
Livermore possesses plenty of Premier League experience and was given his England debut by Hodgson against Italy in 2012.
The 28-year-old would add some bite to Palace’s midfield, but he may not be the best option for them to consider.
Livermore’s performances often lack consistency and Palace need a more dependable presence in midfield as they look to ensure that they can stay up.
Palace may be in 13th place in the Premier League table but they are just three points clear of the relegation zone and any moves that they make between now and the end of the window could be crucial in terms of determining whether or not they stay up.
Livermore, who hasn’t managed to stand out for West Brom this season, is perhaps a player that should be avoided as Palace seek to make new additions.
