The 21-year-old featured in the Reds’ 2-1 win over Preston on Saturday, but his manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed the player will spend the season with the Baggies

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed defender Andre Wisdom is set to join West Brom on loan.

The versatile 21-year-old, who was loaned out to Championship side Derby County last term, played in Liverpool’s pre-season friendly at Preston North End on Saturday.

However, after seeing his side triumph 2-1 at Deepdale, Rodgers confirmed Wisdom is poised to spend another season away from Anfield.

“After today, Andre is going to go on loan to West Brom,” Rodgers told the club’s official website.

“He had a very successful period at Derby last year, he did very well under Steve McClaren.

“He now has the opportunity to go to another very good coach in Alan Irvine, who I know from my youth days. He is an excellent coach and West Brom are an excellent club.

“West Brom have been a rising club for the last few years in the Premier League. He’ll go there and it will be another chance for his education and development to continue.

“He’ll join up with them sooner rather than later and spend the season there on loan. That will be another step for him in his development, playing regularly in the Premier League.”

Wisdom has made 14 Premier League appearances for Liverpool and captained England at Under-21 level.

Emre Can last just 20 minutes of his Liverpool debut after limping off with a calf injury as Preston were beaten 2-1 at Deepdale on Saturday.

The new £10 million signing appeared to strain a muscle with no challenge causing the injury and promptly left the field for further treatment before Josh Brownhill put the League One side ahead in first-half stoppage time.

Suso then equalised 20 minutes from time after collecting a pass from Can’s replacement, Jordan Ibe, and Kris Peterson went the Premier League side ahead four minutes later.

The 22-year-old forward’s agent has dismissed rumours that the Serbia international may leave the Giallorossi this summer but has confirmed there has been interest

Adem Ljajic will not be leaving Roma during the transfer window, according to his agent Fali Ramadani.

The attacking midfielder scored six goals in 28 Serie A appearances for the Lupi last term as his side went on to finish second behind champions Juventus.

Roma have recently confirmed the acquisition of Juan Iturbe from Hellas Verona but Ljajic’s representative insisted that his client will not be forced out, despite the €22 million arrival.

“I can assure everyone that Ljajic will remain at Roma,” Ramadani told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“There is no intention from the player to leave the club. I have said it for some time and I continue to say it.

“The rumours that he will leave have absolutely no foundation.”

Ljajic joined the Giallorossi from Fiorentina last August and, though it appears that some offers may have been made for his services, there has been no encouragement for teams chasing his signature.

“We have received offers for him but we have not taken them into consideration,” Ramadani continued.

“They remain where they are.”

Liverpool and Schalke have been linked with the 22-year-old.
