Liverpool Step Up Chase For New Vieira

Liverpool have stepped up their pursuit of the Rennes midfielder described as the "new Patrick Vieira" - Yann M'Vila.

The all-action Frenchman has been on Liverpool's radar ever since the arrival of Damien Comolli as director of sporting strategy.

And, according to reports in France, Comolli has sent scouts to watch M'Vila in Rennes' last three fixtures - and has received glowing reports.

Now Liverpool could be ready to sanction a summer bid for the 20-year-old, who is also a target for Juventus, AC Milan and Atletico Madrid.

But, with M'Vila under contract until June 2013, it is reported that Liverpool will have to pay upwards of £10m to land their man.
