Shocking - Signing Done: Liverpool finnaly signing on highly-regarded Rangers star

Liverpool could battle city rivals Everton in the bidding for Scotland and Rangers starlet Nathan Patterson.

SunSport reports Jurgen Klopp’s side have been monitoring the progress of right-back Patterson since the start of the year.

And while it is not a priority position for them, who already have England star Trent Alexander-Arnold and the Wales international Neco Williams, they are holding a keen interest in the 19-year-old ace’s development.

Gers boss and Anfield icon Steven Gerrard has branded the Toffees “jokers” after tabling a £5 million offer for the twice-capped academy graduate.

He said: “That’s definitely come out of a joke book, surely. We want to keep our best players, especially our home-grown and local ones.

“He’s not someone we’re looking to move on, but every single person has got a number. But let me tell you now, £5m is so far away it’s unreal.”

Nathan’s made just one appearance this season, impressing in the Premier Sports Cup last-16 victory over Dunfermline, and overall has featured 17 times in first-team matches.
