Liverpool Set To Raid Premiership Rivals For Brazilian International

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is preparing to step up his pursuit of a new midfielder to replace the injured Lucas who is out for the rest of the season and has set his sights on Tottenham's Sandro, according to reports in The Metro.

Sandro signed for Tottenham from Internacional in 2010 for £8million, however the Brazilian international has failed to nail down a regular first-team place and since the arrival of Scott Parker has found himself even further down the pecking order at White Hart Lane.

The 22-year-old had some impressive performances for Tottenham during their debut campaign in the Champions League last season and over the course of the previous couple of months Sandro has been linked with moves to Italian giants AC Milan and Juventus.

Premier League rivals Liverpool are now also keen to bring Sandro to Anfield once the January transfer window opens for business as Kop boss Dalglish feels he would a like-for-like replacement for Lucas.

It is believed Liverpool are planning to table a £12m offer for the Tottenham midfielder in the New Year.
