Liverpool's former director of football Damien Comolli may have one last parting gift for the club after it was reported that he sent he club's chief scout to Holland to watch midfielder Rasmus Elm.
Comolli was in charge of helping identify potential signings and it seems he was keen to try and convince Liverpool to move for the AZ Alkmaar midfielder just days before he was sacked.
According to The People, Comolli instructed chief scout Steve Hitchen to head to Holland to watch the Sweden international in action against FC Twente in a top of the table clash.
The 24-year-old is certain to be a member of the Sweden squad that travels to Ukraine and Poland for the European Championships this summer and has been instrumental in Alkmaar pushing for the title.
Alkmaar is currently second in the league, six points behind Ajax, with Elm having been a regular starter all season.
The paper believes that Liverpool will need to offer in the region of £7million to convince the Dutch side to part with the midfielder who is believed to be interested in a move to England.
Liverpool has struggled in the league this season and it seems likely that manager Kenny Dalglish will look to freshen up his squad in the summer months.
