Liverpool 'tracking Porto left-back' (plus video of him in action)
Published 17:33 26/07/11 By MirrorFootball
Liverpool are looking at Porto's Uruguayan left-back Alvaro Pereira, according to reports in Portugal.
Reds boss Dalglish is on the look-out for someone to fill the hole on the left side of his defence - right-back Glen Johnson played a significant amount of games there in the second half of last season.
The Scot lost out to Manchester City for Arsenal's Gael Clichy while he has not followed up long-standing interest in Newcastle's Jose Enrique.
However, Pereira has a reported £17.5million buy-out clause in his contract, and with Liverpool having already spent close to £50m on players this summer and yet to offload a number of fringe players, that price may be too high.
