Liverpool are ready to bid for Birmingham City defender Scott Dann.
The Daily Express says Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is bracing himself for a January transfer window battle with Sir Alex Ferguson for Birmingham City's impressive central defender Scott Dann.
Hodgson wants to strengthen his defence and has targeted Liverpool-born Dann, who is also being closely monitored by Manchester United, and a couple of other Premier League clubs.
Birmingham manager Alex McLeish is desperate to hold on to Dann, who has formed a solid partnership with fellow central defender Roger Johnson.
But McLeish knows he could double his money on the 23-year-old, who moved to St Andrews from Coventry for £3.5million in July last year.
