Hodgson Expecting To Complete Signing Of Paul Konchesky
-
Time running out...
Paul Konchesky looks to be heading from Fulham to Liverpool with Reds boss Roy Hodgson confident the left-back will be arriving before the transfer window closes on Tuesday.
Asked if he expected the deal, which sees Liverpool youth player Lauri Dalla Valle go the other way, completed before Tuesday, Hodgson told reporters: "I hope so.
"One of our young players, a very talented young lad that Fulham have fancied for a long time, is going in the other direction and that's holding it up a little because he has to have a medical.
"I'm sincerely hoping it's just a technical hitch and that Paul will sign in the next couple of days."
"I didn't have a strong opinion on him [Dalla Valle] one way or another but Malcolm Elias [from Fulham's academy] did. The lad's got the quality to go into a first-team contingent."Hodgson was speaking after the Red's 1-0 win over West Brom on Sunday, and had to fend off more questions surrounding transfer targets.
On Swedish forward Ola Toivonen he said: "No. Unlikely. He's a good player but not the profile I'm looking for."
And on the future of Lucas Leiva, Hodgson was unsure. "It's a bit late in the day, that's for sure. I'm not anxious to be getting rid of any players this late in the day," he said.
