Liverpool and Spurs challenge City for £8 million Italian Keeper
According to reports in today's Daily Star, Liverpool and Tottenham have joined the race to sign Livorno keeper Marco Amelia.
The Italian keeper was heavily linked with a move to Manchester City in the summer with Sven Goran Eriksson said to be very keen on the 25-year old. It is believed the three sides involved will make bids of around £8 million for Amelia.
Tottenham are clearly on the look out for a new keeper, what with Paul Robinson very low on confidence and Reds boss Rafa Benitez is also said to be keen to bring in a new keeper at Anfield.
Amelia has 6 caps for Italy and has made over 150 appearances for Livorno is his seven years with the club. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Amelia join the Premier League in the summer and I feel Spurs may edge out City and Liverpool for the player's services.

Agreed

What a rubbish article. Why Liverpool would want him and why he would want to move to Liverpool and settle for being a sub is beyond me.

LOL makes me laugh some of the drivel that comes out of the media. Why would we need him when we have record breaker Reina and "Worlds best" Bouzanis.
