eyeing up a move for highly rated young
Wigan Athletic goalkeeper Lee Nicholls,
according to reports in the Sunday
Mirror.
The former England Under-19
international has developed a
reputation as being one of the most
impressive shot stoppers in the
Championship so far in this campaign,
so much so that Reds head coach
Brendan Rodgers has sent his scouts to
the DW stadium on several occasions in
the past few weeks to keep close tabs
on Nicholls.
And despite the fact that the 21-year-
old recently made a high-profile and
costly error to gift victory to Belgium
outfit Zulte Waregem in the Uefa
Europa League, that has apparently not
put the Merseysiders off making a
move for Nicholls.
The Liverpool manager is said to be
wanting to bring in a younger back-up
keeper to first-choice Simon Mignolet at
Anfield going forward, with the
Northern Irishman looking to replace
current understudy Brad Jones at the
club.
And it looks like Nicholls, who was
actually born in Huyton on Merseyside
and played for the Reds youth teams
before leaving Liverpool at the age of
14, could very well be the man Rodgers
is after.
