Report: Liverpool Preparing Cash Bid for Hamburg Winger Eljero Elia

Liverpool's pursuit of pacy Hamburg winger Eljero Elia is far from new news, but after failing to secure his services in the January window, Kenny Dalglish will apparently take a different approach this summer.

According to TalkSPORT, Liverpool's January bid for Elia took the form of a loan-buy option, which Hamburg was not interested in. Now, though, Dalglish is prepared to offer the Bundesliga side cash for the 24-year-old Netherlands international.

Elia is said to be keen on the potential move. He is valued at £13 million, according to TransferMarkt.
