Liverpool is planning an audacious swoop for Tottenham Hotspur winger Aaron Lennon.
According to The People, the club's Director of Football Damien Comolli, has identified the England winger as the ideal acquisition for Kenny Dalglish's summer rebuild.
24-year-old Lennon will cost the Merseysiders at least £20 million and is seen as the perfect remedy, after the club missed out on Ashley Young, who opted to sign for rivals Manchester United for a similar fee.
Comolli is of the belief that Lennon would be open to a move back north, and that with Spurs looking to hold on to Luka Modric by making him the club's highest paid player, they will need to sell first.
Lennon, who still has three years left to run on his current deal, is the latest wide-man to be linked with Liverpool. The club have been linked with a £17 million move for want-away Aston Villa winger Stewart Downing, who has been told he will need to hand in a formal transfer request if he wishes to move on.
England International Lennon is seen as the perfect compliment to Jordan Henderson, who joined Liverpool from Sunderland for £20 million earlier this month.
Should Lennon join the club, Kenny Dalglish's total spending would be near the £100 million mark, adding to the pricey signings of Henderson as well as Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez in January.
