Dickson Etuhu

Liverpool are monitoring the contract situation involving Dickson Etuhu at Fulhamas the midfielder mulls over a new contract from the Craven Cottageoutfit.

Anfield boss Roy Hodgson is a firm admirer of the tenacious tackler and is interested in bringing Etuhu to Merseyside,but only if his former club fails to tie him down to a new four-yeardeal that has been offered.

It is also the same reason why Mark Hughes has informed the club to begin negotiations now, as theplayer is into the last year of his current contract and can walk awayas a free agent next summer.

Liverpool are not the only one keen on signing the Nigerian international, as Etuhu is said to beinterested in a move abroad. But having flourished under his formerboss, the midfielder would be open to a reunion at Anfield.

”Unfortunately everything has been left to the last minute.” a Fulham source told the Sun.

”Although the situation is not ideal, no one at the club wants him to go.”

The hard tackling ball winner has become a crowd favourite at CravenCottage after signing from Sunderland for only £1.5 million and gettinginto the team under Hodgson‘s previous tenure. The midfielder was aconstant thorn in the Manchester United side that had to settle for a2-2 draw on Sunday.
