'Pool eye double defender transfer
According to two top British papers, Liverpool will make an approach for the Newcastle centre-half, Steven Taylor and the out of favour, Real Madrid full-back Gabriel Heinze.
Liverpool's failed attempt, during the Summer transfer window, of signing the Argentinian from Man Utd, has not stopped the Merseysider's hope of securing his signature. It is expected the new American owners will have to write a cheque for about €6.5 million to persuade the La Liga champions to let Heinze go.
It is also reported that England U-21 captain Steven Taylor, could also be on his way to Anfield this January after rejecting a contract from current club Newcastle. This is thought to be for a fee of around about €8.25 million, but Liverpool will face competition from Tottenham and West Ham to snap-up the Geordie.
The possible introduction of these players could also make way for the departure of the experienced Red's favourite Sami Hyypia, who Wigan could target in the upcoming transfer window
