Liverpool Defender Martin Skrtel Seeks Transfer

Liverpool may pay the price for a dreadful season in the Premier League after it was revealed that defender Martin Skrtel is ready to ask for a transfer at the end of the season.

Goal.com has reported that Skrtel is ready to ask the club to allow him to leave in order to find Champions League football, despite the fact that he still has two years remaining on his contract.

Skrtel has been in fantastic form this season and had formed a crucial partnership with Daniel Agger, which was keeping veteran defender Jamie Carragher out of the side.

Liverpool has struggled in front of goal this season and their lack of goals has certainly cost them, however, there have been plenty of plaudits for the defence, with Skrtel in particular enjoying an impressive campaign.

Along with Jose Enrique, Skrtel has the most appearances of an outfield player for Liverpool this season with 33 league appearances and he has been one of the first names on the team sheet under Kenny Dalglish.

The 27-year-old was signed in January 2008 for £6.5million and has gone on to be a regular in the first team under Rafa Benitez, Roy Hodgson and now Dalglish.

It would certainly come as a blow to Liverpool fans who have taken to the no nonsense defender who has even scored some crucial goals this season.
