Reds target on verge of Spain move

Rumoured Liverpool target David Trezeguet is on the verge of signing for La Liga new boys Hercules.

According to his agent Antonio Caliendo though, the former French international is still keeping his options open over a move to Lazio.

He said to Laziolalaziosiamonoi.it: "We'll wait for Claudio Lotito (Lazio's President and owner) until midday on Thursday. If it's meant to be, then it will happen. I haven't heard from Lotito in over 48 hours.

"We are prepared to wait a few hours longer, but no more, as the Spanish side Hercules are expecting our response. There will be an important meeting at midday. If we don't hear from Lazio, it means the move will not go through."

Roy Hodgson at his press conference yesterday also denied that they were interested in Trezeguet, Mario Gomez or Carlton Cole:

"No. This is the season when names are bandied around and connected with clubs. I'm pretty sure in countries like Germany and Spain, the same names are coming up and being linked with clubs there because that's the way the system operates."
