Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has declared an interest in signing Newcastle United's Yohan Cabaye in the January transfer window, according to reports.
The France international joined Newcastle from former Ligue 1 champions Lille in 2011, but came close to moves to Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal over the summer.
Cabaye was keen on a transfer but neither club met Newcastle's valuation of the midfielder, according to SportsDirect News
Liverpool are looking to bolster their midfield after Steven Gerrard suffered a hamstring injury in his side's 4-1 victory over West Ham United.
