Former Liverpool Hero Keen On £8m Anfield Return

Former Liverpool favourite John Arne Riise has sparked talk of a possible Anfield return after suggesting that he would be open to a move back to the Merseyside club he represented from 2002 to 2008. The Norwegian international is currently at Roma but has been linked with a move away from the Stadio Olimpico after an average season at the Serie A side.

Liverpool are reportedly looking for a new left back and have previously been strongly linked with Everton’s Leighton Baines and Newcastle United full back Jose Enrique. Kenny Dalglish will have been encouraged by the performances of youngster Jack Robinson but may feel that he needs a more experienced player to fill the position that has been handed to a number of players this season.

Paul Konchesky was the original first choice under Roy Hodgson but the former Fulham man struggled to find form and has been sent out on loan to Nottingham Forest. Fabio Aurelio has struggled for fitness and at times Glen Johnson and Danny Wilson have both been called in as emergency back up.
