Daniel Opare (Real Madrid)

Liverpool and West Ham are competing with a host of clubs from across Europe for Real Madrid starlet Daniel Opare, skysports.com understands.

Opare is regarded as one of Africa's brightest talents and was spotted by Real early on as he moved to the Spanish capital in 2007.

The Ghana youngster was tipped to make the breakthrough from their Castilla side last term, but injury hampered his progress.

Now fully fit, the versatile full-back, who can also play anywhere in midfield, is now set to be allowed to move on loan next season.

This has alerted a string of clubs from across Europe, with England very much a potential destination with both Liverpool and West Ham understood to be keen on taking him.

Options
Also keen to snap him up are the likes of Lyon, PSV Eindhoven, Club Brugge, Buraspor and Steve McClaren's Wolfsburg.

The player's representative Chris Nathaniel confirmed to skysports.com that interest in Opare was significant.

"Daniel is fully fit again now and is ready to play next season," he told skysports.com.

"Of course his injury means he will not be considered for Real's first-team but he hopes a spell on loan somewhere could help him come to the attention of Jose Mourinho.

"With that in mind, Daniel is now considering his options carefully as he has a number of options and he is already looking forward to pre-season training - wherever that may be."

Don't know anything about this guy but his name seems familiar. Not fussed on loan signings so i am not sure what i think of this. Maybe this is the kind of signing we should expect though.....a loan.

F**k me if we are now taking young players on loan to make them better players so they can go back to there clubs and compete for a regular place is that what Liverpool have become.

Season long loan would be a cheap stop gap for a year until Robinson can develop further and would provide competition for Insua. Although he true it is a clear indication that we havent a penny

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Remember him in the under 19 wc tourney in egypt for Ghana. Was massively impressed by him and Adiah. He's a rwb, but very versatile. Just 18.

Right back? Hope he can play on the left too

Think he's regarded as one of the world's best prospects. Whether he's better than older players is another question.

As said before, i sesent the fact that we are having to develop other clubs players. A sign of the times .
