Liverpool are planning a summer bid for Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.

The Daily Star says Begovic is being lined up for a £10m summer switch to Liverpool.

Reds boss Brendan Rodgers wants a new keeper to challenge Simon Mignolet for the No.1 spot at Anfield, following some dodgy displays from the Belgian this season.

And Begovic fits the bill with his future at Stoke in doubt.

He was left out of Stoke's 2-0 defeat at Swansea last weekend with England under-21 keeper Jack Butland getting the nod.

Stoke may now look to cash in on the 27-year-old who has just 12 months to run on his current contract.
