Liverpool may strengthen squad in January: Manager Rodgers
London: Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has said that the English football club may sign players in the January transfer window but refused to divulge the identity of potential targets.
The club is reportedly, interested in former striker Fernando Torres and goalkeeper Peter Cech, both Chelsea players. While Torres is currently plying his trade in Italy, on loan to AC Milan, Cech has been warming the bench at Chelsea after losing his place in the first team to Belgian Thibaut Courtois.
“If there is a possibility that we can strengthen in January we will look at that,” Rodgers was quoted as saying by bbc.com Wednesday.
Liverpool have been goal-shy this season after the sale of Uruguayan Luis Suarez to Spanish club Barcelona FC and have also faced goal-keeping problems with regular keeper Simon Mignolet replaced by Brad Jones, whom he praised for being consistent.
“Brad is in the team at the moment and has done well in the games that he has played in,” Rodgers added.
“He is consistent right the way through. You need your number two goalkeeper to be loyal and work well when he comes in.”
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
