Liverpool Eye Bridge Move

Liverpool have lined up a £7million move for Chelsea left-back Wayne Bridge.

Bridge has started the last two games, but is still considered second choice behind Ashley Cole at Stamford Bridge and could be keen on the chance to join another 'big four' club.

The Daily Mirror claim a £60million Chelsea spending spree will leave Bridge surplus to requirements.

And the Express reckon Rafael Benitez will now move for Bridge after failing with a second bid to sign Gabriel Heinze.

The Liverpool boss was keen to sign the Argentine from Manchester United in the summer, but he instead joined Real Madrid.

Chelsea are reportedly reluctant to sell Bridge to a domestic rival, but the player is frustrated by a lack of first-team opportunities and could agitate for a deal to be struck.
