Liverpool to make move for £8.4m Inter Milan forward

Liverpool are lining up a bid to sign Inter Milan attacker Goran Pandev as the Serie A side look to offload the Macedonian international for a fee of around €10 (£8.4m) as the Anfield side look to beef up their attacking options.

The powerfully built 27 year old is apparently reticent to leave the San Siro but new boss Leonardo is keen to sell the former Lazio man and along with interest from Liverpool it has been reported that Harry Redknapp is also looking to bring Pandev to the Premier League.

Goran Pandev was brought to Inter Milan by former boss Jose Mourinho in January 2010 and was a regular last term following the move and helped the Nerazzurri to another Serie A triumph as well as a Champions League triumph, making 22 starts in the process. However under Rafa Benitez and new boss Leonardo his first team chances have diminished greatly and the arrival of Giampaolo Pazzini from Sampdoria last month further limits his chances, hence the interest forming for his services.

Whilst never a prolific goalscorer there is more to Pandev's game than finishing as he does a great deal of hold up work and he appears to be the kind of experienced player that Liverpool are looking for to add further options up front following the signings of Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez in January.
