Liverpool are set to battle Merseyside rivals Everton in the summer for Dinamo Moscow's winger Balazs Dzsudzsak.

The 27-year-old Hungarian international has, according to the Express, set his heart on Champions League football and there are doubts Dinamo will qualify for the competition next season.

Zenit St Petersburg are currently four points clear of Dinamo in second place and the Moscow side have a tough run-in, with seven of their eight remaining games away from home.

Liverpool and Everton are reportedly monitoring developments and planning to move for Dzsudzsak in the summer.

Brendan Rodgers' side look in pole position for the signature of Dzsudzsak with Champions League qualification appearing to be a mere formality this season.

The Reds currently sit in third place and can move to within one point of current Premier League leaders Chelsea with a win over Sunderland at Anfield tonight. More importantly, fifth-placed Everton are eight points behind the Reds.
