Reports from Spain and Switzerland suggest that Liverpool are looking at both Athletic Bilbao’s 17 year old Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta and Basel’s 18 year old Swiss international Xherdan Shaqiri. According to Basque sources, Galaretta is interesting the Reds (most probably at the behest of Chief Scout Eduardo Macia) but it has also emerged that Barcelona and Arsenal are interested in the young prospect. Shaqiri, on the other hand, who scored a spectacular goal against England recently, is valued by Basel at £8million and is also interesting Inter Milan and Barca. Roy Hodgson’s Swiss connections could however get Liverpool the inside track and the fact that his contract expires next June means he could be available on a Bosman next summer.

Get him on board, the swiss woke up when he came on and hopefully he could inject a bit of life into us.
on another note, i’ve read he’s valued at £2mil today and now £8mil? what a difference a few hours make eh!
too young to come on a bosman..would go to tribunal
This boy is a young dirk hard work and goals if we get him for 2 million then we have a good young talent so if dirk does go we have his replacememt ready in the wings pardon the pun.
