Liverpool signings will get wide berth

Kenny Dalglish has decided Liverpool need to sign quality wide boys to bring out the best in £35million striker Andy Carroll.

That's why the Liverpool boss is making the recruitment of Ashley Young from Aston Villa a top priority for the summer.

Young has declined the chance to extend his Villa contract and with just a year left on his current deal will be a prime transfer target this summer.

It may make commercial sense for Villa to sell their England star rather than lose him as a free agent next year.

If he does go, then Villa will look to Wolves' Matt Jarvis as his replacement.

Manchester United are also trailing Young, but ­Dalglish is ­determined to seal the deal and pair him with a new full-back on the left flank.

Newcastle left-back Jose Enrique appears to be on course for a move to ­Anfield this summer.

The Spaniard has also turned down the chance to open talks over a new ­contract and his deal ­expires next year as well.

Enrique possesses the kind of pace and quality passing that Dalglish ­believes will help Carroll fulfil his potential.
