(Bleacher Report) Liverpool continue to go after young talent as they are reportedly now battling Arsenal for the signature of Blackburn Rovers starlet centerback Phil Jones claims Sky Sports.

Valued at around £16m it would be another example of the Reds sticking to their youth policy after having just wrapped up the signature of Sunderland wide-man Jordan Henderson.

The price tag is high and could prompt a player plus cash deal which seems to be preferred by the owners lately. Paul Konchesky or Sotirious Kyrgiakos are both possibles for that idea as they both look likely to leave Anfield this summer despite Kyrgiakos having put in a good year for the Reds.
