Liverpool’s director of football Damien Comolli is reportedly interested in pursuing a deal to sign Barcelona winger Jeffren Suarez. The 23 year old winger is a bit part player at the Nou Camp and may well be looking at future options with his contract at the Catalan giants set to run out in less than 18 months.

The Merseyside club were linked with a move for Jeffren’s club colleagues Bojan and Ibrahim Afellay but a move for the Venezuelan born former Spanish Under 21 international may prove more realistic.

Pep Guardiola may be open to offers for the tricky winger as it seems he is by no means a crucial part of the club’s long term plans having been overtaken in the race for a first team place by Pedro as well as the aforementioned Bojan and Afellay.

Comolli has previously dealt with Barcelona on the move that saw Mexican international Giovani move to Tottenham, a deal that at the time was seen as something of a coup for the White Hart Lane club but has proven to be something of a damp squib after Harry Redknapp’s arrival at the North London club seemingly ended his chances of progress at the club.

Liverpool could do with more natural wide options having seen the likes of Milan Jovanovic, Maxi and Joe Cole fail to inspire and whilst Dirk Kuyt is a hard working presence at the club he showed again this weekend that he still has a lot to offer in his former role as a striker.

The Anfield side could well land Jeffren for a fee in the region of £6m, after all the player in question has made just 17 La Liga appearances since his debut for the club in November 2006 and this term has racked up just 71 minutes of first team football across all competitions.

We are reportedly now looking at snapping up yet another one of Catalan giants top notch youngsters just days after being linked with Israeli teenager Gai Assulin we are now supposedly interested in Jeffren Suarez, Barcelona’s 21 year old winger. This comes at a time when it appears we have persuaded Fran Merida and Carlos Vela that their futures lie at the Emirates, which is good news indeed.

Quite where the speculation relating to the La Liga sides academy graduates has come from I am not sure, but it is fairly rare for Arsenal to take players such as Jeffren from clubs when they are already very much part of the first team picture. We do tend to scout our players far earlier than that and therefore avoid having to pay large sums of money and can therefore mould the players in their formative years rather than taking a player who is already part of a club’s furniture so to speak.

Jeffren is a quality performer who has risen through the ranks at both club and country and appears to be about to break through at the Camp Nou as Pepe Guardiola attempts to blood his latest generation of talent. The £7m rated Venezuelan has been capped at Under 21 level for Spain and is on the fringes of the senior set up and has a bright future but I just don’t see that future being with us.

It is however good to see fellow Spaniard Fran Merida commit himself to the club and I think he knows that at the club under Arsene Wenger he stands the best chance of progressing from youthful talent to the finished article.
