Liverpool Want Twente Star Bryan Ruiz

Premier League outfit Liverpool is closely monitoring the situation of Costa Rican international Bryan Ruiz, currently under contract with Dutch champions Twente, according to a report in Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf.

The English giants are desperate to add to their ranks in the summer transfer window and newly appointed manager Roy Hodgson supposedly sees the 24-year-old Ruiz as the perfect addition to his squad.

Ruiz joined Twente from Gent in the summer of 2009 and immediately developed into the Tukkers' star player. The tricky forward helped Twente to the Eredivisie title by netting 24 goals in 34 appearances and has since been linked with a move to many a bigger club.

Teams such as Valencia, Sevilla, Wolfsburg and Fulham are all believed to be keeping tabs on the versatile forward. Ruiz has an ongoing contract with Twente, but he has a €15 million release clause in his deal and Liverpool appears to be ready to meet that clause.
