Liverpool are reportedly leading the chase for Crystal Palace's highly-rated teenager Wilfried Zaha with the Daily Mail claiming Kenny Dalglish made a personal call to Dougie Freedman.
The newspaper claims the Reds manager contacted his Palace counterpart to express his interest and to discuss the 19-year-old's ability and character.
The Anfield club has been monitoring Zaha for the past 18 months and it appears they have stepped up their interest ahead of making a formal offer.
Zaha caught the eye last season with a string of impressive performances, but it has been this term where he appears to be fulfilling his huge potential, becoming a crucial part of the Palace attack and playing a key role in their progression to the Carling Cup semi-final.
The Mail also claim that Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has contacted Freedman with regards to the £10m-rated youngster, while Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini is also thought to be an admirer.
Palace are reportedly expecting Liverpool to make a formal offer in the coming days and the Reds are considered the favourites for his signature.
