Dalglish alerted to Czech left back

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish will be on alert after discovering Bundesliga target Michal Kadlec is open to a Premier League switch, with the Czech international insisting a move to Liverpool is a distinct possibility.

Dalglish's scouting team were present at a Bayer Leverkusen fixture earlier in the season, with the target of their interest reported to be the impressive full-back.

Liverpool have found themselves weakened in defence with injuries to Fabio Aurelio, Daniel Agger and Martin Kelly initiating something of a defensive crisis for Kenny Dalglish.

A particular area of concern is left-back, with Glen Johnson often forced to operate from an unfamiliar position due to the lack of left-sided options at Dalglish's disposal.

Aurelio remains the Kop's only experienced left-back option after Paul Konchesky sealed a loan switch to Nottingham Forest in January.

With Liverpool evidently keen to strengthen in this position, Kadlec expressed his delight at being linked with such a major club, revealing he would be open to any offer made by the northwest club.

"To be connected with such a big club flatters me. Who would not be tempted to play in the Premier League?" Kadlec revealed.

Kadlec has two years currently remaining on his contract at Bayer Leverkusen, though the club will look to offload some of their squad members is they cannot qualify for next season's Champions League.

"I know that they were present at our early season game against Dortmund, which we won 2-0," Kadlec claimed about the Liverpool scouting rumours. "But I don't know whether there has been any progress since then."

Leverkusen currently occupy second position in the German Bundesliga, the final position that enables Champions League qualification.
