Dalglish strengthens his defence

Jose Enrique

Jose Enrique will undergo a medical at Mellwood today and discuss terms at Liverpool on Thursday after agreeing a fee with Newcastle earlier this day. The 25-year-old has made it clear he does not want to extend his current contract at St James' Park. A number of clubs had been linked, but it looks like Liverpool will sign the Spanish international.

Enrique, who joined the Magpies in a £6.3million switch from Villarreal in August 2007, has been a long-term target for Reds boss Kenny Dalglish after emerging from a difficult start to his career on Tyneside to prove himself a capable Premier League player. 

Kenny Dalglish

Daglish have been reportingly trying to strengthen his defence after conceding a lot of goals in the pre-season matches. After selling Konchesky and only have young Jack Robinson and injury man Fabio Aurelio out all the time, Daglish will be please to have signed a new and experienced left back.

Roumers would also have it that Daglish is looking for a central defender as well before the the transfer window closes. More transfer to come in the next days, I'm sure.
