Liverpool has been alerted to the availability of Sevilla winger Diego Perotti after the Spanish side agreed to sign German international Piotr Trochowski in the summer.
According to reports in tribalfootball.com, Sevilla are prepared to listen to offers for the Argentinean winger who has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League.
It appears as though the Reds will have a busy summer after a host of national newspapers claimed that there could be as many as 22 deals done for players arriving and leaving Anfield.
High on the list for manager Kenny Dalglish is a winger capable of delivering quality crosses for record signing Andy Carroll who flourished at Newcastle thanks is large to the delivery of Joey Barton from wide positions.
Sevilla had hoped to keep hold of the talented 22-year-old, but now seem resigned to losing Perotti after agreeing a deal to bring Trochowski to Spain.
"Piotr will sign a four-year contract with Sevilla," confirmed Trochowski's agent Roman Grill.
While Sevilla have a €48million buyout clause in the players contract it is believed that Liverpool would be able to get their man for somewhere in the region of €14m.
Perotti has been one of Sevilla's most consistent performers this season, starting 24 league games and contributing four goals and a further three assists.
Dalglish is short of options in wide positions with Maxi Rodriguez and Dirk Kuyt currently being deployed on the wings, but neither are considered natural wingers.
While Perotti is normally deployed on the left wing he has the ability to play on the right and is known for his pace and good delivery from wide positions.
