Dalglish Eyes Porto Midfielder As Lucas Replacement

Another name has been added to Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish’s alleged January wish-list, with the Daily Mail reporting this morning that the Reds are in line to swoop for Porto’s Fernando Reges.

It is thought that Dalglish will be given some considerable funds with which to strengthen his Anfield roster in the imminent transfer window and, in the wake of Lucas Leiva’s season-ending knee injury, midfield is a key priority.

24 year-old Brazilian Reges is widely regarded as one of the best in his position, and is valued at £17 million despite not yet having featured for his country, Brazil.

Andre Villas-Boas, having managed Reges, is also thought to be eying up a move but Liverpool’s scouts, who watched the player on Tuesday during a 0-0 draw with Zenit St Petersburg in the Champions League, have urged Dalglish to make the signing as quickly as possible.
