Apparently
Liverpool has struck a deal with AZ Alkmaar for midfielder Rasmus Elm.
A paper, which I will not mention by name, today
claims Liverpool have agreed an £8million deal to bring the Sweden international
to Anfield this summer.
The report
says Kenny Dalglish went out to Holland for a last look at the player, but that
he was pulled out of the match day squad due to his wife going into labour. That
did however not stop him from sanctioning a deal to take the player to Anfield
on a five-year contract worth £40,000 a week.
The former
Kalmar man has had a successful season and has scored on ten occasions from his
position in midfield. The Elm transfer will be Liverpool’s first of a summer
where a number of personnel changes are reportedly set to take place.
Elsewhere
another report says yet another player from the Dutch league might be on his
way to Anfield. Kenny Dalglish is reportedly interested in signing Luuk de Jong from FC Twente.
The player,
who reportedly has been on the Liverpool radar in the past, according to the Metro could be a good addition alongside top scorer Luis Suarez.
His 23
goals in the league this season have attracted a number of European suitors,
including Liverpool and Kenny Dalglish. The 21-year-old, with a £12.5m asking
price, will be purchased with part of a £20million transfer kitty that will be
granted the Liverpool manager this summer, the report says.
