Liverpool target Xherdan Shaqiri expects his future to be resolved imminently.

Shaqiri has emerged as one of Jurgen Klopp’s potential signings this summer following Stoke City’s relegation from the Premier League last season.
The former Bayern Munich winger is available for a fee in the region of £13 million due to a release clause related to the Potters’ current demotion.
Speaking after Switzerland’s World Cup last 16 exit, Shaqiri has admitted that he remains hopeful on remaining in the Premier League with another club.
He said: “At the moment, I can’t say anything. You are going to hear soon on my future.

“I was not thinking about this because I was just focused on my national team and wanted to make a good tournament for my team and my nation.
“It’s pretty normal to be aware of clubs being interested.
“I don’t know, it’s not dependant on me sometimes. Of course, I would like to play on the biggest stage in football. Everybody knows that.
“I hope I can stay in the Premier League. I hope so, you never know with football. I don’t rule out anything.”
