Liverpool are ready to make
an £8 million offer for West Ham
United midfielder Scott Parker.
The Sunday Mirror says Anfield boss Roy Hodgson has
pinpointed the West Ham
midfielder as the man to replace Javier Mascherano, who is set to
join Inter Milan in a £20m
deal.
The Hammers hierarchy have insisted that Parker is the one
player they will not sell this summer.
“Not at any price,” said chairman David Sullivan.
That has not stopped Tottenham declaring their interest.
And just as Liverpool allowed
Spurs and Arsenal to make the running in the pursuit of
Joe Cole, before stealing their
thunder, they are poised to strike again with Parker. The key issue
is whether West Ham will relax
their tough stance.
