Dalglish Mum On Coates Transfer

Kenny Dalglish refused to discuss the imminent arrival of Sebastian Coates at Liverpool after watching his side return to the top of the Premier League table for the first time in over two years.

Uruguay international defender Coates was at Anfield on Saturday to witness an easy 3-1 win over Bolton which maintained the Merseyside club's unbeaten start to the campaign.

The 20-year-old is set to complete a £7 million (7.9m euros) move from Nacional before Wednesday's transfer deadline, and his arrival will take Dalglish's spending to £115 million since he returned to take charge of Liverpool last January.

Dalglish, however, was reluctant to talk about the transfer until it is completed.

"When we have something to say then we'll tell everyone at the same time," said Dalglish after goals by Jordan Henderson, Martin Skrtel and Charlie Adam earned Liverpool a second straight league win that sent to the top on goal difference for the first time since May 2009.

"It's early days but it's better than being bottom of the table. It's a well deserved win. I think we were fantastic," added the Liverpool manager.

"It doesn't surprise me on how well the new players have gelled. This club is a friendly place and a fantastic place to play. We've got a really good squad and that's very important."
