him as the ideal replacement for Dirk Kuyt on the right side of his
team

Brendan Rodgers is trying to persuade Salomon Kalou to
snub Schalke and sign for Liverpool now he's left
Chelsea.
The Reds boss, a former member of the Chelsea coaching staff,
has made contact with the 26-year-old Ivory Coast forward to try to
convince him that his next move should be to Anfield.
Kalou, who helped the Blues win the FA Cup and Champions League
last season, is one of the most sought-after free agents around
after being released last month to end his six years in west
London.
Rodgers knows Kalou from their time together at Chelsea and sees
him as the ideal player to solve Liverpool’s right-sided problem
now that Dirk Kuyt has signed for Fenerbahce.
The Kop's move could yet wreck the plans of Schalke boss Huub
Stevens, who has claimed there is a stampede for Kalou’s
services.
He said: “Kalou is a Bosman player this summer. It’s obvious.
There are many other clubs keen on him. Liverpool, for example.
“But I know for sure he wants to move away from England. This
could be our chance!”
