Valbuena agent reveals Liverpool interest

Liverpool's interest in Olympique Marseille midfielder Mathieu Valbuena has been confirmed.

His agent Christophe Hutteau told the Sunday Express: “Mathieu would very much be interested in playing in England as the Premier League is the best in Europe.

“Liverpool are interested in Mathieu, but so are teams in Spain, Germany, Italy and Russia.

“I think Mathieu will leave Marseille and I think it is very possible he could play in England this season.”
