Liverpool are the latest club to be eyeing a possible move for Town striker Connor Wickham, according to one of Sunday’s papers. New Reds boss Roy Hodgson is a long-time admirer of England U17 international with his former club Fulham amongst those most interested in the youngster before he signed his two-year professional contract in April.

While Hodgson may well rate Wickham, Liverpool’s current financial situation would presumably prevent them from paying the sort of fee the Blues would want for an inexperienced 17-year-old.

Last week Town were claimed to have put a £10 million price-tag on the Hereford-born frontman with Spurs believed to have made offers of £5 million and £8 million earlier in the summer and Arsenal understood to be monitoring the situation.

On Tuesday Wickham reiterated his desire to remain with the Blues, while chief executive Simon Clegg has said the striker is an “integral part of the squad”.
