He joined several clubs interested in the attacker Alan Smith. Smith himself recently announced that he would like to leave his current club, practically fallen to a lower league. The executive director of "Liverpool" Rick Perris stated that he has already spoken to the player's agent about a possible transfer.
Interest in the striker is shown by such English superclubs as Manchester United and Chelsea. Now "Liverpool" has also joined them, whose coach Gerard Houllier is preparing to make significant changes to his team's composition approaching the new season.
The possibility of Smith's transfer is reinforced by the fact that Aston Villa promises to acquire a striker from "Liverpool". Heskey is likely to leave the club in January next year for 5 million pounds.
For the next season, "Liverpool" has already acquired a striker for 14 million pounds.
