Liverpool 'reignite Nathan Redmond interest'

Liverpool will reportedly push to sign Norwich City winger Nathan Redmond as soon as Oussama Assaidi cuts short his loan stint at Stoke City in favour of a move to the Middle East.

The Reds have been repeatedly linked with a move for the England Under-21 international, but the 20-year-old has remained loyal to the Canaries so far.

However, the Daily Mail claims that the Merseysiders may opt to move for the youngster if Assaidi completes a permanent switch away from the club this month.

His potential exit could give Liverpool a transfer fee and would free up a squad place for manager Brendan Rodgers to sign Redmond.

The Moroccan midfielder's rumoured switch may also give Stoke boss Mark Hughes the opportunity to swoop for Tottenham Hotspur's out-of-favour wideman Aaron Lennon, who is widely expected to leave White Hart Lane before the end of the mid-season window.
