Swedish player tops Kenny’s list?

Swedish midfielder for summer rebuild? Dutch and Colombian strikers on the radar.

I have not blogged for nearly a year, but for the coming transfer window I want to get back to the Silly Season action. Kenny Dalglish and his trusted men has had a bad league season, but might just be rescuing it by adding another cup final victory on the fifth of may.

After the Director of Football, Damien Comolli left the club under some suspicious circumstances a few weeks ago, speculations are growing the summer will be an eventful one.

According to reports Liverpool have targeted Sweden international Rasmus Elm for a the summer rebuilding of the side. The 24-year-old midfielder has scored 12 times this season and was watched by top scout Steve Hitchen, says the Daily Mirror.

Despite the splashing of £35 million on striker Andy Carroll in january last year, Liverpool have struggled in front of goal and Elm could help alleviate the burden on the forwards. He has made 22 appearances for his country and is expected to cost around £7m.

Another story sirculating is that of Dutch striker Luc Castaignos. The Milan player apparently already in January was in a meeting with Liverpool staff, but the Italian club nicked him, Voetbal Internatinal reports.

Now clubs from Germany, Portugal and Spain are interested in the striker, along with Liverpool. The reds will have a big battle on if they pursue the interest in the summer.

Another striker on the radar is Colombian striker Jackson Martinez. Earlier Sky Sports has claimed the 25-year-old has insisted that he could be in line for a move to England. Liverpool are showing a strong interest, whilst Everton, Sunderland and Wigan are also believed to be keen, the report said.

The hitman, who plays for Mexican outfit Jaguares, has declared interest from both Liverpool and F.C. Porto.

-  I am not in any advanced negotiations with Liverpool or Porto but I know they are personally interested, he told Nuevo Estadio, according to Kop-TV.com.

- I have not spoken to anyone and that goes for my club and my agent. In the next few months thinks should be finalized, he added.
