Gokhan Inler Interests The Reds?

Rumours have begun to surface that Liverpool may be interested in Udinese's holding midfielder Gokhan Inler. Inler, who has made 23 appearances for the Swiss national team, has supposedly been contacted from Liverpool officials over his availability. With Arsenal and Real Madrid also said to be credited with an interest in the 24 year old, if the rumours prove to be true then we could face a battle on our hands to land the player due to our financial state that we currently find ourselves in.

When quizzed over possible contact from clubs around Europe, Dino Lamberti (Inler's agent) told calciomercato.com; 'I was contacted by officials because the Spanish club Real Madrid was interested in taking him. In England, three out of the top four have asked about him. There is also a friend of his playing at Liverpool and there was a call to ask information about him'.

If this rumour does happen to be true then the question has to be asked, is this the area that we need strengthening? With Alonso finding his top form again this season and Mascherano being his usual hard working self, as well as Lucas forcing his way into the first team picture this season and of course not forgetting Gerrard then is another centre midfielder the area we need to strengthen? A good player never the less but in my opinion a new full back will be needed if we are to continue pushing for honours this season.
