According to reports in today's Daily Star, Liverpool and Tottenham have joined the race to sign Livorno keeper Marco Amelia.The Italian keeper was heavily linked with a move to Manchester City in the summer with Sven Goran Eriksson said to be very keen on the 25-year old. It is believed the three sides involved will make bids of around £8 million for Amelia.
Tottenham are clearly on the look out for a new keeper, what with Paul Robinson very low on confidence and Reds boss Rafa Benitez is also said to be keen to bring in a new keeper at Anfield.
Amelia has 6 caps for Italy and has made over 150 appearances for Livorno is his seven years with the club. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Amelia join the Premier League in the summer and I feel Spurs may edge out City and Liverpool for the player's services.
