Sky Sports also report that Birmingham's Scott Dann is also on the Reds shopping list for the summer. The Blues young defender is valued at £10m which would be a great value for the Merseysiders. However, it is apparent that just as with Phil Jones, the Reds may be having to out wit Arsenal for the youngsters signature.

Dann looks a player of the Liverpool mantality as he is tough at the back but likes to press the attack. Also as a life long Liverpool fan, he would most likely help push the deal through to get back to the Premier League after the Blues relegation. He experienced the high of winning the Carling Cup and it is likely the Reds will be major contenders for trophies in the next several years in many more ways than Birmingham.

Liverpool continue to go after young talent as they are reportedly now battling Arsenal for the signature of Blackburn Rovers starlet centerback Phil Jones claims Sky Sports.

Valued at around £16m it would be another example of the Reds sticking to their youth policy after having just wrapped up the signature of Sunderland wideman Jordan Henderson.

The price tag is high and could prompt a player plus cash deal which seems to be preferred by the owners lately. Paul Konchesky or Sotirious Kyrgiakos are both possibles for that idea as they both look likely to leave Anfield this summer despite Kyrgiakos having put in a good year for the Reds.

After failing to secure Brad Friedel last week with the American accepting a move to Tottenham over Liverpool, Kenny Dalglish is back in the market searching for a new full-time backup to Pepe Reina.

It looks like he has found the man he wants in Roma's Brazilian keeper Alexander Doni. After loosing his permanant place in the Roma line-up last season he is looking for an out from the Eternal City, and Liverpool could be just that.

Brad Jones whom was signed last season by Roy Hodgson to be the back-up spent more time in the reserves and on-loan than in that role and he is avaliable for transfer and could be a possible make weight in the opposite direction or could be sold outright.

Doni at 31-years of age is still in his good days and would make an excellent experienced back-up as opposed to Jones whom has not seen competition at the high levels as Doni.

After being rebuffed in January after a failed £12m bid for Blackpool's Charlie Adam, Liverpool look set to return with a new offer. This time it looks to be lower, but with the Tangerienes now relegated, Adam will be keen to move back up to the Premier League after a great season in orange.

In the same Guardian article that broke the Henderson news this morning, it also reported a possible £8m move for the Reds to prize away the 25-year old Scottish international.

Blackpool manager Ian Holloway was keen to keep his Captain in January, but it will be a much harder task this time around.

It looks like the Reds got the first of their men this summer. Sunderland's hometown England U21 starlet Jordan Henderson is apparently on his way to Melwood to complete a medical and finish negotiating personal terms on a five-year deal to see him spend his prime growth years in Liverpool Red.

The deal also includes David Ngog as a make weight. The deal called for a £20m fee for Henderson but the inclusion of £7m valued Ngog will reduce the outplay of Liverpool to £13m and eliviate some wage bill room for the incoming player.

Ngog was a good steward for Liverpool but never looked to have progressed since the young Frenchman was brought in by Rafa Benitez.

Henderson will be the first of many new Reds I expect to see this summer as Fenway Sports Group and leading man John W. Henry and Damien Camolli continue to show they are committed to signing youthful talent to develope an all new Liverpool squad for the future.
