Arsenal defender Sokratis has been offered to Liverpool.

Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports Liverpool have been offered the chance to sign Soktratis amid their defensive injury crisis.

The 32-year-old has been deemed surplus to requirements at Arsenal after being left out of Mikel Arteta's Premier League and Europa League squads in the first half of the season.

And it is believed he has been offered to Liverpool this month with the Gunners looking to clear out the deadwood in their squad.

Sokratis played under Reds manager Jurgen Klopp in his time at Borussia Dortmund, but Anfield chiefs are not considering him a serious transfer target just yet.
