Balazs Dzsudzsak In Demand


Dinamo Moscow sporting director Guram Adzojev has revealed that the club are yet to receive any bids for Balazs Dzsudzsak, despite a host of clubs interested in the winger.

Liverpool and Fulham are keen to bring Dzsudzsak to the Premier League, while Italian giants Inter Milan have also been strongly linked with the Hungarian in recent weeks.

But chief Adzojev has admitted that no offers have been made for the 26-year-old as the January transfer window approaches.

Commenting on the link with the England's top flight pair, Adzojev said: "This is the first time I hear the name of these teams in connected with Balazs.

"There are interested teams, but at such a big club as Dinamo it's not a surprise. It's very busy during the winter and the summer transfer window but I can say we haven't received any detailed offers for the winger."

Adzojev went on to say that any decision to sell Dzsudzsak would be made by manager and Chelsea legend Dan Petrescu.

"It's the coach - this time it's Dan Petrescu - who decides about the movements in the squad," he added.

"If a player is approached by a club who makes an offer then the coach can decide to let him go or not.

"If he needs the player, then he stays, if not then the paperwork can begin."

Questioned if Dzsudzsak was good enough to play for a team like Liverpool, he told Nemzeti Sport: "Difficult question. I think he would be good.

"In our squad we have only players who are above the average and Balazs Dzsudzsak is one of them. His left foot and his long runs are very valuable and it's nice to see his crosses.

LFC January Rumour Mill

Liverpool transfer speculation today sees West Ham United midfielder Mohamed Diame has emerged as a surprise January target.

Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to bring the 26-year-old to Anfield as he looks to add more steel to his midfield, and sees Diame as capable of filling that void.

Another transfer rumour sees Brendan Rodgers exploring the prospect of landing Swedish star Ola Toivonen on loan until the end of the season.

The versatile 27-year-old, who has been linked with Newcastle, can play in midfield or along the front line, and would provide the cover boss Brendan Rodgers needs in his injury-hit squad.

Toivonen, who has been on the Anfield giants' radar since Kenny Dalglish tried to sign him in 2010, and will be a free agent in the summer when his contract with PSV Eindhoven is up.

Liverpool are keen on proposing a small fee to take the player on loan for the remainder of the campaign - giving him the chance to earn a long-term future at Anfield.

Liverpool's previously ailing hopes of landing Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Javier Pastore on loan have received a boost as he now looks certain to make a temporary switch in January.

The Argentinian was one of the club's first big-money signings after they were taken over by the Qatar Investment Authority in 2011 and he has previously stated that he was opposed to any move away from Paris.

However, sources in Italy claim the 24-year-old is reconsidering his options as he wants regular first-team football ahead of the World Cup in Brazil in the summer.

Liverpool are believed to be weighing up a January move for in-and-out Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson during the January transfer window.

The Icelandic international has not managed to show his best form during his time at White Heart Lane that prompted the club to sign him permanently after impressing during a loan spell from Swansea City in the second half of the 2011-12 season, and has since struggled to hold down a regular spot in the starting XI.

Inter chief Giovanni Luigi insists the club is open to offers for striker Leandro Damiao, despite admitting that no approaches have been made for his services.

The Brazil international has been linked with a move to Premier League sides Tottenham and Liverpool since the summer, and also rejected the chance to join high-flying Southampton in an £18million deal.

But now the Brazilian season is over and with the January window fast approaching, English sides are on red alert over the player's availability.
