Davide Santon (Inter)

Liverpool are hoping to sign Inter Milan youngster Davide Santon as Roy Hodgson looks to bring in more youthful talent to help build for the future.

 The talented teenage Italian international has been told he can leave the San Siro and a host of clubs are looking to secure his signature and given the much publicised reports of a falling out between Hodgson and England international Glen Johnson the reports of interest in another right back are no surprise.

Santon has spent the past two seasons trying valiantly to fight for his place with the Serie A giants but is now looking for a new challenge and has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League with the likes of Tottenham and Chelsea reportedly interested in the attack minded wide man who can also operate in an advanced right wing role.

Ironically Liverpool's hopes of signing the £8m rated Inter Milan starlet may be helped if Rafa Benitez, as widely reported, is sacked as the former Anfield boss may not be so keen to sell to a club who gave him the axe.

Id take him. Terrific talent. Been stagnated somewhat being behind Maicon but definitely good enough.

Would take him too, definetly one for the future.

Seems like it's secure Glen will leave. However Santon is a terrific talent. I remember him marking perfectly Ronaldo when Inter met scums 2 or 3 years ago in CHL.

Santon is a left back by trade, Glen is a right back.

Santon can play on both right and left back positions. He's right footed so I'd prefer him on the right, but he can also be a top top left back in the future. Kelly on the right and Santon on the left after 3-4 years would be a dream come true.

Rafa has played him on the left wing too don't know how natural in that position he is though.

I hope we can hang on to Glen and get Santon.  This would allow us to sell Konch as he is useless!  When Dagger gets fit I'd play a back line of:

Glen   Kelly   Agger   Santon

Can you imagine the quality of football that back line would be capable of?!

I always go after him in Fifa. He is class in the game and is good in both fullback positions. I also want to see more depth in those positions so we can give Kelly time at Centerback. I'm all for this!

Seems versatile, young and talented. Perfect fit for the NESV principle and at 8 million I'd go for it, especially if Johnson is really on the way out.

Huge F***ing talent. Would welcome here in a second.

would absolutely love for him to be on the team! if we could get him and aly cissokho on left that would be effin brilliant.

Would be tough to actually sign and I would think that the fee would be high enough given his age and potential.

Saying that, would love to see him at Liverpool.

I'm pretty sure that having two Glen Johnson's isn't the best thing for us. Santon is great going foward, but suspect at the back I'm pretty sure.

Would be a cracking signing i reckon, bags of potential.

Yes please!

Linked with us again today, but its from GiveMeFootball.  I'd be thrilled with this lad.  He could take over as the 1st choice LB and split time with Aurelio.  He could also provide us with another option at RB in case Johno is tired/injured.  This would allow Kelly to move into a central position, and hopefully he and Agger could keep Sotis and Skrtel on the sidelines.  I think a back four of  (Johno  Kelly  Agger  Santon)  would be F***ing stellar!

More of a wing back if anything. A very good prospect though, and one we would be doing well to sign.

Good back 4 but would need a defensive mid to just defend, lot like Chelsea and mikel. I think santon can be one of the best full backs in the world. Now this is the talent we should be after.

Coupled with M'Vila who looked very good for France not long ago and it could be a goer! Oh to have Masch, still...

This. Reckon Kenny will go after him?

I think Comolli will list a few targets then Kenny will choose if there good enough for Liverpool or not. I trust Comolli so hopefully he will locate the right players. If santon is on that list then sure, Kenny knows quality and for someone so young to have this much quality should be an easy decision. I don't see a defensive mid coming in January though. If we have 2 very attacking full backs so we will probably concede a few goals until we get a good defensive mid. I would go for yann, contract running up and is only 20 but I doubt will we get him January, maybe summer.
