De Vrij prefers Liverpool

Arsenal were in the hunt for Stefan de Vrij, but the perennial losers seem to have shifted their attentions elsewhere after it was reported the Dutchman is “more likely” to join Liverpool instead.

That’s coming from Spanish rumour-lovers Gol Digital, of course, but if the Gunners have turned to Atletico’s Jose Gimenez instead, it would give an indication that the Reds lead the chase.
