Kenny Dalglish has reportedly added another stellar name to his long list of potential summer recruits; that of Sevilla winger Jesus Navas.
Though Navas has been a one-club man for the entirety of his career since joining Sevilla's youth system at the tender age of 15, the Liverpool boss will be very keen to bring the 25 year-old to Anfield in the close season.
It is thought Dalglish has earmarked the eleven-cap Spain international as a perfect foil for his recently-acquired strike partnership of Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez.
Despite suffering from chronic homesickness, Navas declared himself fit to travel to South Africa for the FIFA World Cup last summer, stating, "To play for your country is the greatest thing and I hope to be able to do so."
The three appearances he chalked up along Spain's successful campaign included a cameo appearance against the Netherlands in the final.
Although Navas has been largely hampered by injury throughout this current season, restricted to just 15 outings in La Liga, he was on hand to score a rare headed goal in Sevilla's 1-1 draw with Barcelona in March.
Should he make the decision to leave the club he has played for over 300 times, he would be welcomed with open arms at Liverpool. For a start, he would be reunited with Pepe Reina, his international teammate.
