The latest transfer gossip, rumours and damned lies

Daniel Agger to Barcelona
Before last night’s epic battle at Stamford Bridge, Barcelona confirmed their interest in Liverpool’s Danish tattoo artist. According to The Daily Mail, his ability to bring the ball out of defence and set up attacks has impressed Pep Guardiola.

The Spoiler truth-o-meter: Agger’s Anfield contract expires next year, and after attracting attention from the Catalan giants and AC Milan, the centre-back has admitted he is in no rush to reach a new agreement.

Mauro Zarate to Liverpool
According to this morning’s Sun, Liverpool are monitoring the progress of Argentinean striker Mauro Zarate. The 22-year-old, currently on loan at Lazio from Qatar’s Al-Sadd, helped Birmingham go down last year.

The Spoiler truth-o-meter: Even if Rafa is interested in recruiting players who aren’t from Spain, we fear this story has only been concocted so the nation’s favourite tabloid could use a ‘Zarate Kid’ kid.

Colin Kazim-Richards to Hull
The Mirror report that Phil Brown is interested in bringing Kazim-Richards back to Blighty. A figure of £2m has been suggested.

The Spoiler truth-o-meter: Despite the adulation he receives in Turkey, the Fenerbahce winger is very keen on a move back home: “Anybody would want to play in the Premier League. It’s the best in the world.”
