Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson travelled to France at the weekend to watch Lille defeat Monaco in order to cast an eye on Eden Hazard and Gervinho .
According to the Daily Mail, Hodgson attended the game with Liverpool's France scout Laurent Viaud. Apparently, at the end of the game, Hodgson was asked if he was watching Ivory Coast international Gernvinho and replied that he wasn't Lille's only good player. Belgian midfielder Hazard is the French side's outstanding prospect.
Gervinho is a skillful player who knows where the goal is. Using his great dribbling and speed, he can play in any forward position. Gervinho showed glimpses of his abilities at the World Cup, particularly when he came on as a substitute against Brazil.
He has scored six goals and set up two for Lille this season, following his 18 goals and two assists last term.
Both Gervinho and Hazard have been linked with Liverpool before. 19-year-old Hazard scored against Liverpool in the Europa League last season and the talented playmaker was voted as the best young player in France in 2008-9.
With the club finally under new ownership, there has been much speculation over who Roy Hodgson might add to his squad at Anfield. However, both Gervinho and Hazard are also being monitored by several of Europe's top clubs.
