Liverpool train sights on Lucas Lubos (23 Aug 2006 06:41 GMT)

Reports in Spain claim that Liverpool are monitoring the progress of Cadiz midfielder Lucas Lobos.

The skilful Argentine only joined the Spanish outfit during last season's January transfer window, but made a huge impression following his move from Gimnasia La Plata.

Although he could not ultimately help save Cadiz from the drop, he managed seven goals in 14 appearances for the Andalusian club and was widely hailed as the star of the second half of the Spanish season.

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is now understood to have trained his sights on the South American and sent a scout to watch him in action last weekend as Cadiz took part in the Carranza Trophy along with Real Betis and Villarreal.

The Spaniards have already slapped a £10 million price-tag on the player's head, but Lobos himself has described the prospect of a move to Anfield as a "dream".

"My present is Cadiz and I don't have any news about Liverpool, although it would be a big dream for me," he stated.
