Liverpool 'in the race' for Kezman
PSV Eindhoven striker Mateja Kezman claims that Liverpool are among the clubs queuing up to sign him.
Earlier this season, Birmingham and Fulham showed an interest in the forward, with Birmingham making PSV an offer for the Serbo-Montenegrin international but they could not reach an agreement with the Eindhoven outfit.
Kezman, who scored twice in PSV's 5-0 victory over Volendam at the weekend, has an ongoing contract with the club.
However, it is understood the Eredevisie side are willing to cooperate in a transfer, with Liverpool being the latest Premiership side to show an interest in signing the 25-year-old.
'Liverpool are back in the race, that's true. It is a marvellous club with a great history. It would be great to join that club,' Kezman told De Telegraaf newspaper.
Kezman, one of the most prolific forwards in European football, has spent nearly four years at PSV after he joined them from Partizan Belgrade in July 2000.
he seems keen to join us but do we want to sign more strikers? Especially with Dijbril Cisse lined up for the summer (of course if Owen does go to Real Madrid the windfall would make Kezman a good buy)
