Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia is holding out for a move to Liverpool.

The Reds have had a bid rejected by relegated Southampton, while Chelsea are also keen.

But CBS Sports' Ben Jacobs is reporting: "The Chelsea counter is coming.

"CFC ready to move for Lavia and even prepared to table a higher offer than LFC, having bid £50m for him a year ago.

"But Lavia is still sold on Liverpool. A move to Anfield remains more likely at this stage."
