If some sources are to be believed, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 are keeping close tabs on the Birmingham City shot stopper, Jack Butland.
It is no hidden secret that the Merseyside outfit have been monitoring the situation of the English International for quite some time now. The Reds first choice keeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-Reina-c29672, has undergone a calamitous campaign so far. He committed scores of errors
early on in the season and has been far from impressive since his return from injury last month.
The Anfield chief, Brendan Rodgers, has already extended the contract of the understudy Brad Jones earlier this month. However, the fate of the Spaniard remains to be uncertain. According to some knowledgeable sources, the Ulsterman is weighing up the option
of selling him out in the January window to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429. The Gunners, at the present, are in need of a veteran goal guard and Reina is one option who fits the billing.
Reina’s exodus from Anfield will likely make way for Butland, whose current manager, Lee Clark, has very recently confirmed the Reds advances for the player.
However, the Birmingham City chief has put the goalkeeper’s worth to be in the region of 6 million pounds. If any club matches such an offer, Clark confirmed that he is more than likely to sell the 19-year old in January.
“By the time the window opens he'll have played 25 or so Championship games. We would be looking for an even more substantial figure than we were offered in the summer - even though I certainly don't want it to come to that,” he is reported to have said.
“Ultimately, it's down to the board. He's the future and the type of player I'd rather build my team around.”
Other than Liverpool, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jan-Mucha-c17787 will see his contract at Goodison Park get expired at the end of the term,
and it is expected that he will seek his career elsewhere in order to get more exposure.
The Bristol native, who started his football career at Clevedon United, joined Birmingham City during the 2007-08 season. In the summer, he was named in the Great Britain’s 18 man squad by manager, Stuart Pearce. He went on to make 5 appearances in the competition.
Besides that, he has also represented http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 at the Under 20 and Under 21 levels and has also got one professional appearance under his belt.
