Liverpool were third in the market for the Stoke City winger, who is said to have cost £12 million in 2015.

Liverpool have been cut from 8/1 to 1/2 to sign Stoke City winger Xherdan Shaqiri during the summer transfer window, with bookmaker Bet Victor.

The Reds were third favourites for Shaqiri’s signature less than two weeks ago, but now lead the betting ahead of Everton (4/1) and West Ham United (8/1).

The Switzerland international is expected to leave Stoke after the Potters’ relegation from the Premier League this season.

However, Liverpool are not among the clubs most prominently linked with Shaqiri’s services, adding intrigue to their newly-acquired front-runner status.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are not exactly short of options in the former Bayern Munich player’s position, one that is preferred by Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Adam Lallana, Harry Wilson and Ryan Kent.

The Reds are also odds-on favourites (1/4) to sign Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland, amid reports of strong interest from Anfield.
