Merseyside rivals Liverpool have now entered the race to sign Axel Witsel.

It was believed cross-town neighbours Everton had agreed a £30 million deal with Russian club Zenit St Petersburg for the Belgium international, as they were prepared to match his £100,000 wages at Goodison Park.

The talented midfielder is reportedly attracting interest from around Europe following his outings for 'The Red Devil's' during the Euro's. According to The Mirror, Liverpool are now keen on acquiring the services of the 27-year-old.

After Paris Saint-Germain completed the deal for Gregorz Krychowiak - Jurgen Kloop's initial target - they'll now set their sights on Witsel. The Pole signed with the French champions for 26 million euro's becoming the second Sevilla Europa League member to link up with the 'The Parisians'.

Witsel is now being identified to fill that void who's stock rose after his performances en route to Belgium's quarter-final finish, ultimately being dumped out of the tournament by losing to Wales 3-1.

With now two offers from Premier League clubs on the table, just where will he end up?
