Liverpool Eyeing Muntari

Liverpool are reported to be weighing up a January move for Portsmouth's Sulley Muntari if they are priced out of a move for Javier Mascherano.

Muntari has impressed at Fratton Park since his summer arrival from Udinese and his performances are thought to have alerted Reds boss Rafa Benitez.

Benitez is drawing up his list of targets in the January transfer window and could make a move for Muntari if he is priced out of a deal for Mascherano.

The Ghana international has quickly adapted to life in England and he is a big fans' favourite at Pompey.

The 23-year-old has admitted he would be interested in a move to a bigger club if the chance became available.

"I want to end up at one of the biggest clubs - that is every player's dream," Muntari is quoted as saying in The Mirror.

"Of course I will try my best here and help Portsmouth win many things, and maybe qualify for Europe, but eventually I would like to play for a bigger club."

Muntari? If, a big if, Rafa is thinking of getting him to replace Mascherano, it will be totally absurb! They are not even the playing in the same position. Mascherano is a must stay. And if we need to sell Sissoko and some one else (in my opinion, kewell) to bring down the cost, so be it. He is that good.

On the other hand,Muntari will be a good addition to the squad, but definitely not at the expense of anyone else except for the 2 mentioned above.
