Villarreal’s mercurial winger Santi Cazorla is being tracked by Liverpool. According to the People, international team-mate Pepe Reina has sung the midfielders praises, urging Dalglish to bring him to Anfield.
The tricky wide-man was part of the successful Euro 2008 campaign with the national side. An injury ravaged 2009-2010 season, ruined his chances of making the plane to South Africa last summer. Even so, Cazorla has accumulated over 30 caps on the international stage, no mean feat when you consider the potency of the Spanish attack.
Dalglish reportedly has £80m to spend in the transfer market this summer as he looks to stamp his mark on the Liverpool squad. Cazorla is seen as a solution to the problematic left-wing berth, the Spanish schemer has provided the likes of Nilmar and Rossi with plenty of ammunition this season. This creativity alongside Suarez and Gerrard could be used to provide Carroll with the kind of service he thrives on.
Spanish publication AS claims the Andalusian’s have made Cazorla aware of the interest from Merseyside. With El Submarino slapping a €20m price tag on the player’s head to ward off any interest from potential suitors.
Dalglish’s Liverpool roared back into contention for a Europa League spot during the second half of the season. King Kenny has already been positive this summer, securing Jordan Henderson for £20m from Sunderland. The purchase of Cazorla would make waves throughout the premier league, signalling their intent to build upon their form under the Scot.
