da lvbet: Liverpool and Tottenham’s hopes of concluding a late move for Anzhi Makhachkala striker Lacina Traore have taken a hit, with Monaco keen on the Ivorian, according to reports from talkSPORT.
da esoccer bet: The Premier League duo are believed to have upped their interest in the powerful forward following the Russian giants’ decision to transfer list their entire first-team squad in a bid to reduce their extravagant spending.
As one of their higher earners, Traore is said to be available for a reasonable price.
Spurs and Liverpool are both rumoured to be in the market for attacking reinforcements, but they may be forced to look elsewhere with Monaco interested.
The newly promoted Ligue 1 side have already secured Radamel Falcao as a part of their summer spending spree, but are still looking to reinforce to mount a serious title challenge.
Traore, 23, has caught their eye, and is believed to be willing to move to the Mediterranean coast.
The 6ft. 8” centre-forward joined Anzhi last year from domestic rivals Kuban Krasnodar amid speculation linking him with a number of top European sides.
But Anzhi are keen to sell, which means he could be following the likes of ex-Chelsea man Yuri Zhirkov and Brazilian winger Willian away from Dagestan.
Should Liverpool or Tottenham make a last move for Lacina Traore?
