Adam Lallana is considering slapping in a transfer request at Southampton. The Daily Star says Lallana is eager for a switch to Liverpool, after spending his whole career with south coast side Saints.
Liverpool were keen to force through a quick transfer earlier this summer by bidding £20m for the 26-year-old.
However, Southampton are holding out for a higher price, leaving negotiations at a stalemate.
Reports from the north west suggest Lallana is reluctant to hand in an official transfer request, but will make it known that he wishes to complete a move to Merseyside.
