French winger linked

There's been a lot of talk about Pepe Reina and his future at Anfield. But today it was confirmed that Jose is fully committed to his long-term contract at the club and has not told manager Roy Hodgson he wishes to leave.

Elsewhere there is exciting speculations of players that may leave, and that may come in...

Spanish sports journalist Guillem Balague in his Blog with The Times writes that Sevilla wants Christian Poulsen, while Damien Comolli wants to bring Antoine Griezmann to Liverpool.

The new Seville manager, Gregorio Manzano, has now had a little over a month to assess his squad. - He's going to prioritize the purchase of at least two central midfielders. An experienced player that he can put straight into the team, and a young player that he can develop, Balague writes.

- As a result, Liverpool's Christian Poulsen has been placed high on the list of transfer wish list. The Dane had a very successful stay at the Spanish club before he was sold to Juventus in 2008.

- The 19-year-old French midfielder Antoine Griezmann seems to be a potential target for Liverpool, after Damien Comolli, the club's new Director of Football Strategy, hinted purchasing Griezmann in a meeting with senior players at Anfield, according to Balague.

Griezmann plays for Real Sociedad and has established himself in the club's first team after he made his debut for the Spanish club last year. The rapid 19-year-old can play both left wing and the role of withdrawn striker. He is described as being technically very good, while he has a nose for goals.

Today - again Liverpool is linked with the former Chelsea star Shaun Wright-Phillips.

The 29-year-old speedster is being tipped to make a January exit from current club Manchester City, and Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is thought to be one of the parties interested in a move for the player, GiveMeFootball reports.

Arsenal legend Ian Wright, was quoted as saying he wants the former Chelsea player to get first-team football.

- I'd love him to get out of there on loan at least. We're talking about someone who is still in the England squad, so Fabio Capello obviously rates him, said Wright. Hodgson is also thought to hold the player in high regard, and could see the player as an additional attacking presence alongside Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard and Dirk Kuyt.

The Reds boss is thought to have been given a transfer budget in the region of £35 million, the GiveMeFootball writes.

Liverpool will face competition when it comes to another reported transfer target. Niko Kranjcar is reportedly on the radar of German giants Bayern Munich.

Bayern coach Louis van Gaal looks set to rival Liverpool for his signature, and is expected to make a bid for the 26-year-old Croatian in the January transfer window, GiveMeFootball reports.

Van Gaal is reportedly prepared to offer £11 million for the Tottenham man and will be encouraged by his recent comments about wanting to play regular football, they report.
