Liverpool Striker Set For Anfield Exit

Liverpool forward Dani Pacheco is set to leave Anfield after revealing he will not be travelling with Brendan Rodgers' squad for the club's pre-season tour of Asia and Australia.

The Spaniard, who featured in Liverpool's 4-0 friendly win against Preston on Saturday, has struggled to establish himself on Merseyside since joining from Barcelona in 2007.

The 22-year-old was snapped up by former Anfield boss Rafa Benitez and tipped for big things after a string of dazzling performances for the club's reserve side.

However, the striker has managed just 17 senior appearances for the Merseysiders and has been sent out on loan four times in the last three seasons.

Reds boss Rodgers named Pacheco in his 28-man squad for forthcoming matches in Indonesia, Australia and Thailand but the player himself says he will be staying behind to sort out his future.

He tweeted: "Finally not travelling to Asia. Will talk about my future this season in next couple of days. Thank you. YNWA."
