Some see the right side of the Liverpool defence as a potential weak spot and with that in mind Rafa Benitez is hoping to beat a host of clubs, including hated rivals Manchester United, to Porto right-back Jose Bosingwa.
Liverpool are said to be edging out United and Aston Villa for Bosingwa, according to the Daily Mirror.
The Congolese-born Portuguese international is rated in the £10m bracket and has been a mainstay at the Portuguese champions for a number of years now. It seems that he is ready to move on and upwards in his career and he has made many noises about wanting to give the Premier League a shot – and why not!
