Liverpool To Pip Tottenham To Signing Of Ajax Striker Luis Suarez - Report
Luis SuarezLiverpool look to set to pip Premier League rivals Tottenham to the signing of Ajax striker Luis Suarez, according to the Metro.
The Uruguay international is said to be disappointed with the departure of Martin Jol, who left his post as the manager of Ajax on Monday following a poor run of results, and is now looking at leaving the Dutch giants in January.
It also believed that the 23-year-old has instructed his agent to make sure a move can be completed in January, according to reports circling in the Netherlands.
Spurs were first linked to Suarez after the striker starred in South Africa at the 2010 World Cup and their bitter rivals Arsenal were also linked with the player, but manager Arsene Wenger has ruled out making any signings in January.
Now it seems that Liverpool is the favourable destination for Suarez, with manager Roy Hodgson looking to bolster his options up front.
The former Fulham boss has already highlighted the need to buy a striker to play alongside Fernando Torres and Suarez will be marked as a real possibility.
It would seem that Hodgson could land the South American for a cut-price €10.5 million. -
