Liverpool closing in on Blackburn Rovers defender Samba

According to reports Liverpool are lining up a deal for Blackburn Rovers defender Christopher Samba.

The People claims Anfield boss Kenny Dalglish is looking to bring the Rovers star to Merseyside.

It is understood that Samba has appointed new agents after failing to secure a move away from Ewood Park last summer.

Liverpool understand that the Congolese centre-back is still keen on leaving the struggling Lancashire club.

Spurs are still on the look-out for a new centre-back but Liverpool are said to be in pole position for Samba.
