Luis Suarez deal imminent?

There is still no solution to the Ryan Babel situation. At the moment he is in talks with Hoffenheim, having passed the medical test.
But according to Fox Sports Babel favors a switch to Ajax.

However there are more clubs that would like to sign the dutchman. His agent has revealed that the Liverpool forward has six offers on the table from various clubs, including Hoffenheim.

According to Live4Liverpool there 'was a total of three German offers and three English clubs also wanted him'.

Luis Suarez is on the verge of moving to Liverpool, according to reports.

The Daily Mail claims that 'Reds owner John Henry met with the Ajax striker's agent in London on Tuesday night as talks accelerated over the proposed deal.

'Henry dined with agent Pere Guardiola - the brother of Barcelona boss Pep - as Liverpool move in on their No 1 January target.'

The deal is being described as 'imminent', with the Mail announcing 'Uruguay striker Suarez fancies a move to Merseyside as there are plenty of Spanish speakers in the Reds dressing room.'

The Dutch giants want around £27million for the player but he is expected to leave for a much lower figure.

And today's most positive surprise was the message from Liverpool chairman Tom Werner, insisting the club's owners are prepared to splash the cash if the right player becomes available in the transfer window.

Valuations of Suarez stretch from £18m to £25m and it remains to be seen whether Anfield's new owners are prepared to go that far.

But, asked if Liverpool still had the money to secure marquee signings like the £22m spent on Torres in 2007, Werner replied: 'Yes. Look at our history. We will be driven by value but we certainly have the resources to have some targets'.

Anderlecht president Herman van Holsbeeck has confirmed that Liverpool have enquired about their striker Romelu Lukaku, along with Chelsea and Tottenham.

- Our price will be around €30million [£25.2m]. We received one offer from an English club three days before the end of the August transfer period. It was €10m [£8.4m] immediately and €10m in one year. We would not accept the offer because we wanted to keep the player. I think he will go to the Premier League. For him the team is in England. We know that Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool are interested in him and that they follow the player, he said according to Live4Liverpool.

- There is some interest from Real Madrid but we know they are interested in every good young player. What for us is the right club? The Premier League clubs from the UK are the biggest clubs in the world with a lot of money.

Lukaku confirmed this week a move to Chelsea or another Premier League club would be his preferred destination:

A new name enters the transfer stage... According to GiveMeFootball Liverpool are facing stiff competition from Chelsea in the race to sign Chilean international Alexis Sanchez.

The Udinese star has been monitored by a string of top European clubs in recent seasons, with Liverpool one of those keen to bring the player to the Barclays Premier League.

Real Madrid, Lyon and Manchester United are also thought to be interested in signing the player, but Chelsea now appear to be leading the race for the 22-year-old, according to the Metro.
Udinese owner Giampaolo Pozzo has revealed that the Blues are in talks with the club over a move for the player, who has previously been dubbed 'the new Ronaldo'.

Sanchez has the ability to play on either flank, and the former River Plate loanee shot to prominence after braking into the Chilean national team as a teenager.

It's unknown if new Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has taken an interest in the player, but the Merseysiders are keen to add attacking flair to their outfit in the current transfer window.

Finaly, a more familiar face on radar - Keisuke Honda.

Sport.co.uk can confirm that meetings have been scheduled with a number of top European clubs next week at the AFC Asian Cup in Qatar with representatives from the Premier League trio of Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa expected in the Gulf state.

Liverpool are considered to the favourites to land Honda with Kenny Dalglish and Director of football Strategy Damien Comolli keen on the frontman, while Arsenal scouts and Aston Villa representatives are also present in Qatar with both club manager’s fans of the forward, although Arsene Wenger and Gerard Houllier could baulk at the price-tag of the forward.

AC Milan have also been tracking Honda since the World Cup last summer.
