Lisandro López (Porto)

"Lisandro Lopez could be heading for the Premier League this summer, according to his agent Fernando Hidalgo."

"Hidalgo has confirmed that he has already been approached by a number of clubs from around Europe for the Porto striker's services."

"Porto are likely to demand around £16million for the player with his contract not running out until June 2011."

Does this include Liverpool? We are in line for a new striker, the 16 million price tag is within our range. "Licha" is an Argentina International with 6 caps for his country. He has impressed this season in Liga Sagres with 14 league goals but has attracted interest for his performances in the UCL, helping Porto reach the quarter finals with 6 goals in 10 European games.

Any thoughts?...

He was linked with Liverpool and Aston Villa on a portuguese fan site a couple of weeks ago.

Any thoughts?...

Any direct link to LFC?

Well Hidalgo (his agent) says he is refusing to give names of any specific Premier League clubs as of yet, don't know if what "Thor" said above has any truth to it. It could be just speculation of course.

Lopez seals Lyon move

Lisandro Lopez has quit Portuguese giants Porto to join Lyon in a €24million (£20.6m) deal.

The Argentine striker moves to the Stade Gerland following a season in which he was not quite at his prolific best, notching just 10 goals all term.

Lopez proved a revelation in his first season at Porto as he finished the 2007/2008 campaign as the Portuguese league's top scorer.

It is perhaps in European competition that Lopez has best proved his credentials, with 13 goals in 28 UEFA Champions League games catching the eye.

The deal, which could rise by a further €4million payable in result-related bonuses, is the highest fee paid by the deposed French champions.

A busy summer of transfer activity at Lyon has seen the club sell star duo Juninho and Karim Benzema, while Ivory Coast star Kader Keita has joined Turkish outfit Galatasaray.
