Liverpool chief Damien Comolli has confirmed interest in St Etienne midfielder Blaise Matuidi.
The 24-year-old midfielder now has two French caps to his name and strong tackling stats make him a hit with Comolli.
"In France, all the figures prove that the player who wins the most possession at the feet of his opponents is Blaise Matuidi," Comolli told the News of the World.
"That is an extraordinary strong point. When the team plays high, it means a goal chance."
