Liverpool's insecurity off the field could mean they miss out on exciting Danish starlet Emil Larsen.
The club is currently embroiled in a bitter takeover wrangle, with current owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett said to be ready to resist the reported £300m bid to buy the club by New England Sports Ventures.
Until the deal has reached a resolution, Roy Hodgson has no real indication of what he will be able to spend in January and although he is interested in attacking midfielder Larsen, he faces competition from clubs in France and Germany.
Larsen, 19, currently plays for Danish club Lyngby and Hodgson monitored him during his days as Fulham manager.
The Liverpool boss had an extensive Scandinavian scouting network at Fulham and Larsen has been on his radar since his move to Anfield.
But sources at Lyngby have confirmed Hodgson has yet to make his intentions known to them and that no bid from Liverpool seems to be forthcoming.
And with Liverpool's boardroom battle the main priority at the moment, Hodgson risks losing out on the talented teen when the transfer window reopens.
