The “Rafa-lution” is alive and kicking as Liverpool as received the green light from Fifa to sign West Ham’s Javier Mascherano.

With less than 24 hours to go until the end of the January transfer window, world football´s governing body on Wednesday issued a green light for Mascherano to move to Anfield from West Ham, whom he joined from Corinthians of Brazil on the last transfer deadline day in August.

Looks like Rafa wants (and needs to) strengthen his midfield and with a player of Mascherano’s calibre they might just plug the holes in midfield, that is if Mascherano is fit and finds back the form that made him a hit at the World Cup.
