David N’Gog future at Liverpool FC still unclear

Has he gone to Sunderland or has he not? The future of Liverpool striker David N’Gog still hangs in the balance after the Reds has completed the signing of Jordan Henderson from Sunderland.

The French striker arrived from Paris Saint Germain in July 2008.

He is one of the brightest young talents in French football, scoring goals at every youth level for his country, including two absolute corkers against England U19s in 2007.

He made his Liverpool debut as a substitute against Aston Villa on August 31, 2008. A first goal followed away at PSV on December 9.

He also made 94 appearances for the Reds and scored 19 goals.

Liverpool is rumoured to be chasing another English young talent from Ipswich Town. N’Gog will be pushed further down the pecking order if the rumours are to be true.

In the latest interview, Director of Football, Damien Comolli has been quizzed about the future of the 22-year-old French striker. Comolli has mentioned that Sunderland have had a strong interest in him. Liverpool has agreed to let N’Gog speak to Sunderland about his future to see if he's interested in going there.

There aren’t any news yet on this transfer but I do wish David all the best, if he decided to part with Liverpool FC in the coming week.

Skysports.com has learnt Blackburn Rovers defender Phil Jones is at Manchester United having a medical as he closes on a move to Old Trafford.

It is understood United have offered the player a five-year contract, despite widespread reports he was to undergo a medical at Liverpool's training ground.

The 19-year-old was supposed to travel to Denmark on Wednesday with the England Under 21s for this summer's European Championship.

Liverpool FC transfer policy

With the transfer window wide open on 1 June 2011, many rumours or speculation has been linked to Liverpool FC. But we are well aware that FSG want young talents and Kenny Dalglish chooses to deal privately on any possible purchases.

It doesn’t deterred the media and fans alike to speculate and discussed the possible transfer targets coming in or going out of Liverpool FC. What have caught our attention over the recent weeks are the news that Liverpool has been heavily linked to a £20 million rated England U21 midfielder. Does he worth that much?

We all know which are the crucial area in the Liverpool squad that need to be strengthen – wide midfield, left-back, centre-back and forward position. No European football next season, means that the influx of young talents into the Academy doesn’t make sense at all as the Academy has produced a host of talents waiting to be promoted to the first team.

What the fans and supporters want to see are another big name signing for the key position. As Tony Barret from The Times mentioned on his article in The Kop, “In Kenny We Must Trust” – many people now able to watch much more football than ever before thanks to satellite television and internet streams and the popularity of computer games that allow anyone to be the manager, in fantasy world at least, means that supporters can indulge themselves when it comes to assessing the relative merits of a potential transfer target.

It will be a crucial time for the Reds, with new ownership and money to spend, Kenny Dalglish must continue to utilise the resurgent impact of his youngsters from the Academy as well as buying the right blend of British talent – seasoned or experienced ones.

The media, fans and people all around the world can continue to be amateur scouts for their supported clubs but Kenny Dalglish will always be dealing with the “Liverpool Way”.

Let us know who do you think Kenny Dalglish will be signing in the summer on the comment box below.

Liverpool to kop £30M deal for young England stars

Liverpool are closing in on a £30million swoop for two of England’s hottest prospects — Blackburn defender Phil Jones and Sunderland midfielder Jordan Henderson.

The Anfield giants increased their initial offer of £13million for Henderson, 20, to £15million yesterday and are hopeful Sunderland will compromise on their asking price of £18million.

Liverpool are also ready to make a formal offer to Blackburn for £15million-rated Jones, though they face a battle for him with Arsenal and Tottenham.

The moves are part of Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish's strategy of buying top English talent, having signed striker Andy Carroll in January for £35million from Newcastle.

The club have also asked about the availability of midfielder Lee Cattermole at the Stadium of Light.

Henderson and Jones are in Spain with the England U21 party preparing for this month's European Championship in Denmark.

Stuart Pearce's squad fly home tonight before travelling to Southampton for Sunday's friendly against Norway, but Henderson is on stand-by to travel to Merseyside and complete the deal as soon as the two clubs agree a fee.

Liverpool's move for Jones will alert Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, who has made it known he wants to build his back four around the 19-year-old.

Wenger was prepared to wait a year while signing Jones's Blackburn team-mate Chris Samba now.

That deal is advanced but Liverpool's move may force Wenger to rethink his plans for Jones, who has impressed in the centre of defence and midfield since making his Premier League debut against Chelsea in March last year.

He signed a five-year deal that May and extended it by 12 months in February.

Blackburn would prefer to keep their prize asset and sell Samba but accept that they will not be able to stand in Jones's way if the right offer comes in.

Dalglish has already signalled a change of direction at Anfield since succeeding Roy Hodgson by handing first-team opportunities to 17-year-old Jack Robinson, 18-year-old John Flanagan and 21-year-old Martin Kelly, and giving a new deal to Jay Spearing, 22.

However, both deals are still on a pre-matured stage. Sunderland boss, Steve Bruce has made it clear to all clubs pursuing Jordan Henderson that he is not for sale.

Aquilani to Milan?

Alberto Aquilani's agent believes the Liverpool midfielder's future could be decided in the next 24 hours.

The Italian midfielder has spent this season on loan at Juventus, but the Turin giants failed to exercise their first buy-out option to sign the player on a permanent basis, which expired last month.

Juventus have been looking to reduce the fee agreed between the clubs at the beginning of the loan deal, putting into doubt a permanent switch to Turin.

Aquilani's representative, Franco Zavaglia, expects Juventus to make a decision on the former Roma man in the next 24 hours with AC Milan waiting in the wings for the 26-year-old.

"All season Juventus have always given me the necessary guarantees that they want to keep Alberto," Zavaglia told Tutto Juve.

"The next 24 hours will be decisive. Any eventual economic agreements will follow after Juventus make their decision."

Zavaglia admits Aquilani would be interested in a possible move to Serie A champions Milan if the Juve deals falls through.

"Who wouldn't like to play for Milan? Milan are a model club," added Zavaglia.

"If Juventus can't do a deal for Alberto and he has to return to Liverpool, then Milan would certainly be a destination that he would accept."
