Liverpool have raided Manchester City's technical staff for two scouts - although it is unlikely that Roberto Mancini will miss them.
The Merseysiders are set to appoint first team scouting and recruitment co-ordinator Dave Fallows as their new head of scouting and City's chief scout for Italy, Switzerland and Russia Barry Hunter will go with him to Anfield.
The move will not inconvenience Mancini who has been relying on his own network of contacts in the game for player recruitment - rendering Hunter less useful than before.
The 43-year-old former Northern Ireland defender, who has also worked as a scout for Blackburn and Norwich, knows Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers well from their days at Reading together.
Fallows, a former Bolton Wanderers performance analyst who has worked his way up from the bottom, will form part of the new technical team working with Rodgers after owners Fenway Sports Group shelved plans to appoint a sporting director.
