Rumour: Liverpool eyeing Michu swoop following shock Michael Laudrup sacking

Swansea City’s Spanish forward Miguel Michu

Liverpool could move for Swansea star Michu in the summer, following the shocking and controversial departure of Dutch manager Michael Laudrup.

The Spanish international moved to England for a meager fee £2 million, and had a stellar debut year in the Premier League, scoring 18 goals in 35 league appearances, prompting many to call him the buy of last season.

The striker has been injured for most of this season, starting only 12 games in the Premier League for the Swans.

Brendan Rodgers could raid his former club for the forward, hoping to bag him in a cut price deal, considering the problems surrounding the Welsh club at this moment in time.

If Swansea get relegated, the Merseyside club will be in pole position to land the former Rayo Vallecano man in a bargain deal.
