Norwich and Republic of Ireland U21 winger Anthony Pilkington has been linked with a shock move to Liverpool.
According to reports, Kenny Dalglish is monitoring him closely following some impressive displays for newly promoted Norwich this season thus far. The 23 year old has been tipped with being an outside inclusion for Giovanni Trappatoni’s Euro 2012 squad despite not having played for Ireland.
Liverpool are searching for direct wingers especially who can deliver a mean cross for the likes of Carroll and Suarez to feed off. Stewart Downing has played most games on the left for the Reds but hasn’t really impressed with Jordan Henderson failing to pin down a spot on the right.
Pilkington was born in Lancashire but has represented Ireland at U21 level but is still eligible for the country of his birth. He was playing League One football last season with Huddersfield before securing a move to the Canaries during the summer. Recent performances including an impressive display at Anfield have obviously caught the attention of other clubs.
He has scored four goals this season already for Norwich and has helped them climb to 11th in the table.
