THAT'S AMORE ... scouts are watching Fernando
Bilbao's 6ft 3in stopper was facing Barcelona in the
first leg of Spain's version of the Community Shield.
He has been attracting attention around Europe because
so many teams want an imposing leader at the back.
While Amorebieta has yet to make his debut for Spain,
he has been in the international squad and is tipped to break into
the starting line-up this season.
Kop boss Rafa Benitez desperately wants a new
centre-back and has been linked with Hull's £10m-rated Michael
Turner.
The Tigers man was superb at Chelsea on Saturday and
manager Phil Brown admitted he would do business if the Reds made a
bid of £10m.
Benitez's big problem is that whichever defender he
wants, he still has to persuade the club's American owners to stump
up the cash.
