Liverpool Closing In On Rennes Defender Rod Fanni

According to a report in L'Equipe, Ligue 1 outfit Rennes is set to part company with France international Rod Fanni. The full-back is continually being linked with a move to Liverpool and Rennes is now supposedly ready to cash in on him.

Liverpool isn’t too pleased with the performances of Glen Johnson at right-back and manager Roy Hodgson is therefore eager to sign a new full-back in the January transfer window. The former Fulham gaffer supposedly sees the 29-year-old Fanni as the perfect signing.

"A decision about the future of Rod Fanni will be made in the next 48 hours," Rennes' general director Pierre Dreossi was quoted as saying.

Fanni has also attracted the interest of Olympique de Marseille, but the right-back has apparently set his sights on a move to the Premier League.

Additionally, Rennes is reluctant to sell Fanni to a domestic rival, meaning that the full-back is probably on his way to the Reds.
