Liverpool is hoping to lock down a lock-down defender.

According to Goal.com, the Reds are looking to land Newcastle's Jose Enrique for around £6 million ($9.7 milion) this summer to solve their left-back problem.

Newcastle could demand as much as £12 million ($19.4 million) for the 25-year-old Spaniard who was signed from Villarreal for a little over £6 million in 2007. However, because he has refused to discuss a new contract (his expires in 2012) with the club, Liverpool could be in luck and slice that number in half.

"I want to win things," he told Goal.com last week. "I'm OK at Newcastle but I aspire to more. I love the fans here and suffered with them when we were relegated. But we have to be realistic. Newcastle aren't performing well."
