Jose Enrique set to join Liverpool: Transfer Rumors

Enrique: Liverpool target

Transfer rumors linking Newcastle left back, Jose Enrique, with Liverpool have resurfaced.

It has been heavily publicized that Liverpool need a left back and reports have often linked The Reds with Enrique. Kenny Dalglish is a noted fan of the Spaniard and has been sizing up a move for the player.

Some reports have stated Newcastle are looking for Jay Spearing, Liverpool's young midfielder, in return for Enrique but those reports look to have been squashed with Spearing signing a new contract with the Anfield outfit in the last week.

During a Norwegian television interview, former Liverpool manager Phil Thompson admitted that "Jose Enrique to Liverpool is a done deal." There is no doubt that Enrique would be a welcomed upgrade at the club as they push for the top four next season.

It is believed that Newcastle are looking for £15m in exchange for the player but there are no indications of contact between the two clubs so this transfer still remains a rumor despite what Phil Thompson thinks.
