Liverpool Looking For Some Kompany
Rumours are spreading over the highy-rated 20 year-old defender
Vincent Kompany's possible switch to Liverpool
However the Belgian international is not expected to come cheap,
especially with Hamburg SV surveying the Torres transfer as signs
that Liverpool might reluctantly agree to a £8-10 million
deal.
With Sami Hyppia being at the centre of heighten transfer
speculation linking him to a move to Sunderland, the path could be
made clear for Kompanys arrival by the end of the next week.
A decision by Hyppia to stay in Merseyside might not mean the end
of the deal as the defensive cover for Jamie Carragher and Daniel
Agger is thin. Outside the ageing Hyppia, Rafa only has the young
Gabriel Paletta to call on as back-up, meaning Kompany would
provide support as well as a possible long-term first-team
player.
Chelsea FC have also been strongly linked to Kompany over the past
two years, with sporting director Frank Arneson and manager Jose
Mourinho both expressing their admiration for the players
athleticism and ability to read the game from the back.
