Kenny Dalglish is eyeing Birmingham City defender Scott Dann as a potential summer signing as he looks to rebuild his Liverpool side, according to skysports.com
The Scot is looking at long-term replacements for the ageing Jamie Carragher and hopes to build his side on talented young players following the capture of Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll in January.
Dann has impressed during his time at St Andrew's after moving from Coventry City in 2009 for £3.5 million and has formed a formidable partnership with Roger Johnson at the heart of Birmingham's defence.
However, a hamstring injury sustained in the League Cup semi-final against West Ham in January ruled him for the rest of the 2010/11 campaign.
Dalglish faces competition from other Premier League clubs for Dann’s signature including Manchester United, who have also watched the England under-21 International with great interest and are short of defensive options after Gary Neville’s retirement and Rio Ferdinand’s problems with injuries.
A move for the 24-year old could, however, be put in jeopardy with the appointment of Damien Comolli to director of football at Anfield and it is expected that the Frenchman would want to be involved in all dealings at the club.
Despite Dalglish’s wishes to bring the Liverpool-born defender to the club, Comolli may want to bring in a more experienced player from Europe.
