Revealed: Liverpool opted against permanent Steven Caulker move - even though he wanted it
STEVEN CAULKER had his heart set on a permanent deal at Liverpool rather than a loan.
Steven Caulker made his Liverpool debut against Arsenal
Caulker joined the Reds on loan from QPR on Tuesday after spending the first half of this season on loan at Southampton.
Jurgen Klopp turned to Caulker in an attempt to bolster his defensive options, with Dejan Lovren and Martin Skrtel out injured.
And the Mirror claim the defender had his heart set on a permanent switch to Anfield, but Liverpool would not agree to a deal.
