Liverpool swoop for Eden Hazard - Juan Mata agent departs
Reports overnight claim that Liverpool have made a formal approach for Lille winger Eden Hazard.
The Reds have been monitoring the 20-year-old ever since Damien Comolli was brought in, and if you follow KOPTALK closely, you will know that we believe Hazard is a primary target.
We've been linked with numerous midfielders and while it's still too early to call who we will sign, Hazard is definitely a top target, who is well ahead of other options.
Now although we know Hazard is one name at the top of the 'wanted list', this could also prove to be one of the hardest signings to actually pull off for various reasons. In other words, don't get your hopes up but at the same time be satisfied that the Reds are doing all they can to bring this highly-rated player in.
reports suggest that he would cost around £20million and we wouldn't disagree with those claims.
Meanwhile, Juan Mata's agent has left Liverpool following a quick visit to the city yesterday where it is claimed he met Damien Comolli.
An update is imminent on our members website in relation to the status of the proposed signing of Ashley Young, along with a few other snippets that are pending including a brief update about Keisuke Honda.
