Liverpool are ready to offer £2.5 million for Wolves goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey.

The Mirror says Reds boss Rafa Benitez has targeted Wales international Hennessey for a surprise summer switch to Anfield as back-up to No. 1 Pepe Reina.

Hennessey has lost his place to Marcus Hahnemann at Molineux and not played in the Premier League since Wolves" 4-0 thrashing against Chelsea in November.

But Benitez believes the 23-year-old will be an ideal No. 2 to Reina and is ready to make his move at the end of the season.
