Liverpool target Shaqiri open to Premier League move

Bayern Munich winger Xherdan Shaqiri is open to a move to the Premier League.

Shaqiri has found opportunities hard to come by under boss Pep Guardiola, with the Spaniard favouring ex-Barcelona man Thiago Alcantara for the majority of the season.

"It's clear that I cannot continue like this. If nothing changes, I will have to make some changes myself ." Shaqiri told 20 Minuten. "I want to play in the important games as well and not just in the Bundesliga. I don't want to go through another year like this.

Liverpool are keen admirers of Shaqiri, and a move for the 22-year-old would likely present a cheaper alternative to Southampton's Adam Lallana.

"England would be an option. If I were to leave Bayern, it will be for a foreign club. But it will have to be a club challenging for the title."
