Liverpool Flop Andrea Dossena Is Off To Russia To Fund Rafa Benitez' Swoop For Norwegian Strike Ace Erik Huseklepp


Liverpool are ready to offload Andrea Dossena to fund a move for Norwegian forward Erik Huseklepp.

Zenit St Petersburg have joined the race for Dossena and value the Italy left back at about £2million - £5m less than Rafa Benitez paid Udinese for him 18 months ago.

If the Reds are prepared to take such a big hit, the same fee should be enough to snare Huseklepp from Norwegian side Brann.

The 25-year-old, who can play up front or on the right wing, would jump at the chance of a move to the Barclays Premier League.

His agent Stig Lillejord said: 'If these rumours are correct, it's great. They are a big club and it's nice if they have noticed Erik.'

Wigan Athletic and Hull City are also said to be tracking Huseklepp, who scored 15 in 30 games for Brann last season and opened his international account in Norway's 4-0 victory over Scotland in August.

His agent added: 'There are several clubs who are seriously considering Erik, but I can't comment on which clubs.'
