Liverpool defender wanted by Roma

AS Roma are keeping tabs on Liverpool defender John Arne Riise's situation at Anfield. The player is more than likely to be told that he can leave the club by Reds boss Rafa Benitez after a less than average season with the Merseyside club.



Riise, 27, has been linked with several moves away from the club in recent months as speculation mounts he will be told to pack his bags in the weeks to come. The Norwegian international has been at Liverpool for over six years now since joining from AS Monaco back in 2001.

He has made over 250 appearances for Liverpool during his time their, scoring over two dozen times for the club. Widely renound for his powerful left-footed shots, Riise is likely to cost Roma at least £5 million. I personally think it is about time Liverpool start clearing out some of the crap they have at their club and start bringing in some quality new signings.
