Liverpool are weighing up a summer bid for Barcelona forward Ibrahim Affelay, according to reports in Spain.
Affelay joined the Catalan giants from PSV for a cut-price £1.85m in January after the Dutch side faced up to losing Affelay on a free transfer in June, but he has struggled to make an impact at the Nou Camp.
And Liverpool have emerged as front-runners to sign the 24-year-old Holland international, with the Reds said to be preparing a £8.5m bid, according to Spanish daily AS.
Arsenal are also long-term admirers of the Dutch starlet and made a £7.5m offer last summer.
Affelay has played six times for Barca but has yet to find the net for his new club. He has 31 international caps, and has netted twice for the Oranje.
