Liverpool are plotting a second major transfer swoop on Newcastle United - for super Spanish left back Jose Enrique.
Kop talent-spotter Damien Comolli watched the highly-rated defender in action at the weekend as he looks for a solution to Kenny Dalglishââ¬â¢s problem position.
Enrique was in outstanding form against Blackburn Rovers, adding to his reputation as one of the best players in his role in the Premier League - and the Anfield club may trouble the Toon again in the summer.
Dalglish shattered Liverpoolââ¬â¢s signing record by landing striker Andy Carroll from Newcastle and the Geordies would look for a hefty fee for Enrique too.
However Liverpool need a recognised player in that position as Paul Konchesky is exiled at Nottingham Forest on loan and Glen Johnson is filling in for the rest of the campaign - but clearly not suited as a long-term answer.
Enrique, 25, was a big-money capture by Sam Allardyce during his time at Newcastle and has also been linked with Manchester United as a possible replacement for Patrice Evra if he leaves.
However Liverpool are now heading the queue and could make an offer in the summer - with cash to spend on improvements in that area.

Would you let him go?
I certainly wouldn't(only if he wanted too of), it would be hard to find a replacement esp someone as solid as him!
