Liverpool Close To Agreeing Move For Midfielder

Liverpool is reported closing in on a move for Wigan midfielder Mohamed Diame, who is out of contract at the end of the current campaign.

According to reports on Goal.com, the Reds are due to hold talks with the player’s representatives over a £60,000-a-week deal, which will more than double his current salary.

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is believed to have been told by the club’s owners to look for summer bargains, after seeing over £110 million spent on new talent in the last 18 months, and it appears he has done just that by moving for the Senegalese star.

The report continues, claiming that Dalglish see’s Diame as ideal competition for the young Jay Spearing, who has had to fill the void left through Lucas’ injury mid-way through the campaign.

Wigan boss Roberto Martinez revealed earlier this week that Diame was just one of four Latics’ players who would be leaving the DW Stadium this summer.

“There are four players out of contract and I expect them all to go - Hugo Rodallega, Momo Diame, Chris Kirkland and Steve Gohouri,” he said.
