As @Modo and @Ryan mentioned in the Transfer Rumours thread, he's been linked with us quite heavily today. Both Telegraph and Mirror suggesting he'll be playing in the hole behind the strikers.
[article=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/liverpool/10793724/Liverpool-expected-to-rekindle-interest-in-Southamptons-England-international-Adam-Lallana-in-the-summer.html]Liverpool are expected to pursue an interest in Southampton’s Adam Lallana in the summer with the possibility of the England international playing in the hole behind Luis Suárez and Daniel Sturridge.
Lallana, who was named in the PFA Team of the Season, has a groin problem but he is determined to play in Southampton’s final two games of the season.
Liverpool are expected to invest in up to five new players as the club prepare for Champions League football next season.
The 25-year-old, who has been at the south-coast club since 2000, has sparkled this season in Southampton's attack, and earned the first of his three international caps in November in the 2-0 friendly defeat to Chile at Wembley alongside club teammates Rickie Lambert and Jay Rodriguez.
Lallana then started for England in the 1-0 loss to Germany later that month and gained his third international outing in March, once more at Wembley, impressing from the off the bench. After replacing Jack Wilshere he assisted Sturridge's late headed goal in the 1-0 victory.[/article]

Sportsmail revealed last week that United planned a £55million double deal for Southampton pair Lallana and Luke Shaw.
But while Shaw, 18, is preparing for a move to Old Trafford, England midfielder Lallana has decided on Merseyside.
Southampton continue to insist their star players are going nowhere but should be braced for offers as soon as the season finishes next month.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers will authorise an opening bid of around £15m for Lallana, who is expected to play in the hole behind Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge. He can expect to double his £35,000-a-week earnings.
Roy Hodgson will name the 25-year-old in his England World Cup squad despite nagging concerns over a groin injury, which might have kept him out of the final two Barclays Premier League matches.
However, the Southampton captain wants to face Swansea on Saturday before signing off against Manchester United on the final day of the season.
The Southampton board face a potentially tricky summer, with left back Shaw also unwilling to delay his move to a big club any longer.
United and Chelsea are both keen on him and the teenager is worried that he may miss the boat if he gives it another year on the south coast.
Saints will also find it difficult to hold on to central defender Dejan Lovren after an outstanding season.
The Croat has been linked with Liverpool and clubs across Europe just 12 months after arriving in an £8million move from Lyon.
Even more worryingly, there are fears that manager Mauricio Pochettino will snub planned contract talks next month as the chance to manage Tottenham looms larger.
The Argentine’s deal expires at the end of next season.

[article=http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-transfer-news-adam-lallana-3471827#ixzz30EJUkQBL ]Adam Lallana is set to become the first piece in Liverpool’s Champions League jigsaw next season.
The England midfielder – a boyhood Everton fan – has his heart set on a move to Anfield.
Chelsea and Manchester United have both targeted Lallana but the player is intent on a move to Merseyside, as Brendan Rodgers looks to add to his title challenging squad.
Liverpool believe they can land the 25-year-old for around £20million and that Southampton owner Katharina Liebherr is prepared to green light a sale.
And the Anfield outfit are ready to offer Lallana a four-year deal worth double his current £35,000-a-week wages.
Lallana has said nothing publicly about his intentions and has no wish to create any ill-will with the Saints fans after skippering the club he joined as a 12-year-old for the past two seasons.
The winger has been instrumental in Southampton's impressive form this season, which sees the Saints sitting pretty in 8th place in the Premier League table.
He has also made his England debut, and will hope to be in Roy Hodgson's squad for the World Cup in Brazil this summer.[/article]

[article=http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/376379/Liverpool-will-win-battle-with-Manchester-United-to-snap-up-Southampton-star-Adam-Lallana]LIVERPOOL are poised to battle off Manchester United to land England ace Adam Lallana.
That's the view of the bookmakers after fresh reports emerged over the weekend that Lallana could swap St Mary's for Anfield.
But now Liverpool are reportedly ready to offer Lallana £50,000-a-week deal to edge out United.
The odds compilers have reacted by making the Reds the 6/4 favourites to sign the midfielder when the transfer window reopens.
United are at 7/2 with Chelsea (12/1) and Manchester City (14/1) ranked as outsiders.
Lallana, 25, is tied down until 2018 after he penned a new five-year deal in April.
Lallana has been at Saints since the age of 12 and has been one of the stars of their rapid rise from the bottom of League One to contenders for Europe.
He is valued at around £25m.[/article]
