Liverpool are targeting their fourth Southampton player in Jay Rodriguez after completing a £20million move for Dejan Lovren, the Mirror reports.

The Reds were close to signing Queens Park Rangers star Loic Remy in an £8.5million deal, but the move collapsed with the Frenchman failing his medical.

And Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is considering a move for Saints attacker Rodriguez, making an enquiry after the failed Remy transfer.

The 24-year-old will become the fourth Southampton star to be on Rodgers' transfer wish-list, after already signing Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana, and Dejan Lovren from the Saint Mary's.

Although the Englishman has recently signed a new contract with Southampton, Rodriguez is reportedly keen to play in the UEFA Champions League.

However Rodriguez will miss the start of the season with a cruciate knee ligament injury, expecting to return in October.
