Cottagers target Liverpool star

According to today's Daily Mail, Fulham are planning to make a bid for Liverpool midfielder Harry Kewell.

The new Fulham manager has apparently made Kewell one of his main transfer targets for this January window and he is lining up a £2.5 million bid for the Aussie.

Kewell has regained his place in the Liverpool starting eleven after months out with injury, but I must admit I can't see why he gets in ahead of Ryan Babel.

I have to say, I don't envisage Reds boss Rafa Benitez wanting to accept an offer of £2.5 million and I couldn't see Harry Kewell accepting Fulham. Obviously Rafa needs to find money somewhere to finance the Mascherano deal so he may be forced to let Kewell go.
