Fans Divided Over Shock Transfer Rumour Linking Liverpool to Relegated Premier League Star

Liverpool have made an enquiry about bringing Stoke City's Xherdan Shaqiri to Anfield, and fans all over social media aren't sure how to feel.

Following Stoke's relegation from the Premier League, the enigmatic talent is widely expected to be departing the bet365 stadium this summer, and Liverpool are the latest side to emerge as a potential suitor for Shaqiri, who has expressed a desire to stay in the Premier League.

Here's what fans had to say.
