Kenny Dalglish ready to spend as Liverpool bid to wrap up Luis Suarez deal

Add to My Stories Kenny Dalglish believes Liverpool have a duty to make a major signing this month to lift the club out of its malaise. Luis Suarez is Liverpool's No 1 target and there is a determination at Anfield to wrap up a 20milliion deal for the Ajax striker.

Top target: Uruguay striker Luis Suarez (left) could be on his way over to AnfieldThe Uruguay star, 23, is disillusioned with life in Holland and has his heart set on a move to Anfield, having been stripped of the captaincy by his Dutch club. He has told some of his team-mates that he hopes a deal could be done 'within days' but Liverpool and Ajax have yet to agree on a fee. Dalglish confirmed he had held positive talks with Liverpool's principal owners John W Henry and Tom Werner on Wednesday but the manager refused to discuss specific transfer targets. He did, however, expand on the reasons why the club need to buy. Dalglish said: 'It's important for us as a football club to give the supporters a lift and the players a lift. If we can get someone in who will improve what we have, great.

Ready to swoop: Kenny Dalglish wants to bring in reinforcements during the transfer window'Players themselves want competition and they get a lift when a new player comes in. That's what we will try to do but it has got to be someone decent. 'We are not going to get someone in just for the sake of it. Everyone would love to see someone brought in who is really going to whet the appetite and we will try our best to do that.' Should Liverpool complete a deal for Suarez, it would ease the burden on star striker Fernando Torres. Liverpool have scored three goals or more only twice in the Barclays Premier League this season and they will face Wolves tomorrow without suspended captain Steven Gerrard.

    Ki celebration 'prompted by Scottish abuse'

    DOHA: South Korea midfielder Ki Sung-Yueng's controversial 'monkey' celebration against Japan was a response to racist abuse from Scottish football fans, a team official said on Thursday. The 21-year-old Celtic midfielder put the Koreans 1-0 up from the penalty spot in the 23rd minute of Tuesday's semifinal, before allegedly pulling a monkey face and scratching his cheek in front of a pitch-side camera. His celebration caused offence in sections of the Japanese media, who said the act was a racial slur on their country, but South Korea media officer Park Il-Ki said it was a reference to monkey chants from Scottish fans. "It was about the unsporting treatment he got in the Scottish league, especially in away games," Park said. "People made noises and monkey sounds in Scotland when he played away games. That was something that he wanted to show people from all over the world. "They call him a monkey, as an Asian, but he wanted to show how strong...

New Zealand, who are on a rotten run of form, made the worst possible start to their reply, losing a wicket on the first ball when Jesse Ryder was run out and they never threatened from there.Their innings came to a halt in the 47th over at 227 to give Pakistan an unbeatable 3-1 lead in the series with one match washed out, while New Zealand have now lost 15 of their past 16 ODIs. It was a timely performance from Shehzad, who delivered on the promise he had hinted at in his previous seven international innings, which produced a total of 173 runs.Around him, the other Pakistan batsmen failed to get on top of New Zealand pace attack.Umar Akmals 32 befo...
