Pre-season: Guangdong Sunray Cave 3-4 Liverpool

Charlie Adam made his bow as a second-half substitute as Liverpool got their pre-season tour of Asia off to a winning start courtesy of a 4-3 success over Guangdong Sunray Cave on Wednesday afternoon.

The former Blackpool midfielder showed some neat touches throughout a promising cameo as goals from Christian Poulsen, David Ngog, debutant Conor Coady and Andy Carroll gave Kenny Dalglish's side victory in front of a passionate crowd in Guangzhou.

The Reds boss was always going to use the occasion to give the majority of his squad their first run-out ahead of the 2011-12 campaign and he will have taken several positives from an encounter that began with a great chance for Danny Wilson.

The former Rangers man met Dani Pacheco's right-wing corner with a firm header from six yards out but could only watch on as it flew inches past the far post.

The hosts responded and Ricardo Steer saw his effort beaten away by Peter Gulacsi before Ngog forced Guangdong stopper Yu Yongzhe into his first save of the contest with a low shot from the left-hand side of the penalty area.

The Frenchman was looking sharp and thought he had opened the scoring with a cool finish on 15 minutes, only to see the strike ruled out for offside.

It was greeted by gasps of frustration from the local support who had packed into the stadium to witness Liverpool's first ever match on Chinese soil.

It was clear every corner of the stadium was baying to see a Reds goal in the flesh and on 19 minutes they got what they had been dreaming of in the shape of an unlikely source.

Liverpool to offload Konchesky to Leicester City

Liverpool hope to start clearing their deadwood this week with Paul Konchesky considering a move to Leicester City. According to Telegraph, Konchesky will fly out to join Eriksson in Sweden tonight for a medical and is set to complete a £1.5 million move, barely 12 months after joining Liverpool.

Konchesky followed Roy Hodgson to Anfield from Fulham for £4 million last summer and, like his former manager, has endured a dreadful time on Merseyside. He spent the end of last season on loan at Nottingham Forest.

Liverpool FC set to completes third signing of the summer today

Goalkeeper on the verge of completing move to Anfield. Sky Sports sources understand Roma goalkeeper Alexander Doni will undergo a medical at Liverpool on Tuesday.

The 31-year-old's agent said last week that a deal was imminent following several weeks of negotiations.

An initial move broke down earlier in the summer after Doni failed to agree personal terms with Liverpool.

But the Brazilian could complete his move to Anfield this week after an agreement was reached with Roma.

Doni would only provide back-up to Kenny Dalglish's first choice, Jose Reina, but would offer an experienced deputy.

Liverpool on Sunday departed for a pre-season tour of the Far East, but members of the medical staff will still be available to oversee Doni's medical.

Liverpool midfielder denies Fiorentina link

The agent of Alberto Aquilani has brushed aside speculation linking the player with a move to Fiorentina this summer.

Reports in the Italian media claim the Viola are considering strengthening their squad by signing the Liverpool midfielder.

However, Aquilani's agent, Franco Zavaglia, told Tuttomercatoweb.it: "His future for the time being is at Liverpool. The player will remain there.

"With Fiorentina there are no negotiations in place, I have not even been approached by them.

"They are just rumours."

Aquilani, who spent last season on loan at Juventus, wanted to remain in Italy but received no suitable offers despite making 33 league appearances for the Turin outfit.

The 26-year-old was a reported target of AC Milan and Napoli this summer but announced earlier this month he will play in Anfield next season.

Liverpool signed Aquilani from Roma in 2009 and he is under contract with the Reds until June 2014.

Liverpool given green light to sign Lyon fullback

All the press and media rumours of Liverpool FC wants a left-back but from my perspectives Emiliano Insua should be given the chance next season.

Aly Cissokho could become the answer to Liverpool's left-back problems after Lyon revealed they are willing to listen to offers.

Reds boss Kenny Dalglish is desperate to bring in a new left-sided defender after being forced to play Glen Johnson out of position at times last season.

After seeing his top target Gael Clichy join Manchester City, he is now looking at a number of alternatives.

Reports in France suggest one of them is Lyon's Cissokho and that a bid is imminent.

Lyon coach Remi Garde told L'Equipe that Liverpool have not yet made an offer for the 23-year-old, but he was prepared to consider any approaches.

'Aly is an important player for us, but if an offer matches our expectation, he is likely to go,' said Garde.

The French club are known to be short of cash and it is thought they are prepared to accept a bid of just £8million, despite paying £13million to sign Cissokho from Porto in 2009.

Liverpool are also believed to be interested in Newcastle United left back Jose Enrique, but face competition from Arsenal for the Spaniard's signature.
