Reds close to landing Gonzalez
By David Prentice, Liverpool Echo

LIVERPOOL are poised to snap up Chilean winger Mark Gonzalez from Albacete.

But boss Rafa Benitez won't be able to use the £5m-rated 20-year-old
until October.

The Reds are in discussions with Spanish side Albacete with a view to
bringing the South-African born star on a year's loan. A permanent £4.9m
switch could then follow. The deal is subject to a work permit being
granted.

But a cruciate knee ligament injury sustained in May means it will be
October before he is fit enough to be considered for selection.

The Reds had originally planned to move in the January transfer window,
but the full Chilean international has made quicker progress than
anticipated which has persuaded Benitez to bring forward the transfer.

If discussions are successfully concluded, the player would arrive at
Anfield on August 1.
