Liverpool are ready to pounce for unhappy Espanyol winger Albert Riera.

Riera was the hottest thing on the continent before Christmas, but has lost his place in Ernesto Valverde's first team in recent weeks and is now seeking a move away.

The Mirror says Reds boss Rafa Benitez is moving for Riera after being priced out of a deal for Wigan Athletic winger Luis Antonio Valencia.
