Liverpool's Nabil Fekir back up plan scuppered after summer target is out of World Cup 2018 crocked

After a blistering start to the transfer window-wrapping up the signing of Fabinho for £45million - Liverpool have hit a couple of stumbling blocks, according to Mirror Football. According to The Telegraph, West Ham’s Manuel Lanzini was the alternative target to fill Philippe Coutinho’s vacant No.10 shirt. However, the Argentine suffered a serious knee injury in training ruling him out of the World Cup. The fitness problem has put Liverpool off who will now have to look elsewhere.
