LIVERPOOL BID FOR ATSU
Liverpool have made a £3million bid for Porto winger Christian Atsu, according to The Mirror.
The 21-year-old Ghana international made 16 appearances and scored one goal in Portugal's Primeira Liga this season as Porto marched to their eighth title in ten years.
Despite Atsu having a £10million release clause, it's thought that Porto are prepared to let the winger leave for a small fee this summer rather than risk losing him for nothing when his contract expires next year.
"Since I started playing football I have dreamt to play in the Premier League. I will be sad to leave Porto but if I leave I would want my future to be in England," said Atsu this week.
The Mirror claim the 21-year-old favours a move to Spurs to work with Andre Villas-Boas, while Everton have also expressed an interest.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are planning to off-load Oussama Assaidi, who only made four sub appearances in the Premier League this season, and Stewart Downing.
