TRAORE REMAINS UNCERTAIN OVER FUTURE
By Mark Platt

With the transfer deadline fast approaching Djimi Traore admits he's unsure
what the future holds for him.
The defender has been strongly linked with a move to city rivals Everton,
with the Toffeemen revealing on Friday that he was expected at Bellefield
for a medical.

Reds boss Rafael Benitez insists he want to keep Traore at Anfield and in
an ideal world the the French youngster would like to stay.

He was a surprise inclusion in the squad for Sunday's game at Bolton but
wants assurances that he has a part to play in the future at this club.

"People will have seen me play against Bolton and now think that I must be
staying but I honestly don't know what is happening," says Traore.

"The manager has told me he wants me to stay but of course I want to be
playing first team football, that is the important thing for me."

Traore found himself surprisingly thrust into the fray after just 14
minutes at the Reebok Stadium and performed commendably alongside Jamie
Carragher in the centre of defence against the Trotters.

"It was a surprise to be included against Bolton. After getting injured in
America I only returned to full training last Tuesday and I haven't played
in any pre-season games," he adds.

""It was unfortunate that I came on at the expense of Sami who was injured
and it was not an easy game. We had a couple of new faces in the team and
it was disappointing to lose again after the midweek defeat in the
Champions League. We can do better and it only the beginning of the season
so hopefully we can bounce back."

Whether Traore is around to help the Reds bounce back remains to be seen
but with the transfer window closing tomorrow things will have to move fast
if his five-year Anfield career is to come to a close.
