Liverpool will not be signing Aston Villa goalkeeper Shay Given on loan, according to the BBC.

Brendan Rodgers' men had been trying to sign the veteran shot-stopper to provide experienced cover for current number 1 Simon Mignolet.

 


However, it appears Given will not be making the move from Villa Park to Anfield this evening.

The 37-year-old joined Aston Villa in 2011 from Manchester City, but has fallen down the pecking order.
