Liverpool’s interest in bringing in natural wide men to complement their new strike pairing of Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll has led to their interest in West Brom wide man Chris Brunt, a player they look likely to bid for this summer.
The 26 year old left winger has been at the Hawthorns for three and a half years and a move to Anfield will greatly interest the Northern Ireland international who may feel that the summer would be the right time to move on, not least if the Baggies fail to avoid relegation.
Successive Liverpool managers have failed to find effective players to provide attacking support from the wings. The likes of Dirk Kuyt, Maxi, Milan Jovanovic and Joe Cole have been failed to fill the slots adequately as did Dutch international Ryan Babel, before he was offloaded to Hoffenheim.
£7m rated Brunt is an old fashioned style winger who apparently interests Kenny Dalglish and the former Sheffield Wednesday man’s ability to consistently put good crosses into the box as well as his set piece abilities could well be of good use to the Merseyside outfit.
One sticking point to such a move could be the fact that former Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is not in situ as Baggies boss but he may well still not look to stand in Brunt’s way should a decent offer come in for his services.
