Liverpool lining up shock deal for former Leeds winger
Liverpool could make a surprise January swoop for former Leeds United star Max Gradel.
Gradel, who now plays for Ligue 1 side Saint-Etienne, came through the ranks at Leicester City but established himself at Leeds, whom he signed for following a successful loan spell.
The Ivory Coast international's displays at Elland Road lead to him being named the Fans' and Players' Player of the Year for 2011, and he earned himself a move to his current club in August of that year.
Gradel hit the ground running in France and has been scouted extensively by Liverpool, but Ukrainian heavyweights Shakhtar Donetsk are also keeping tabs on the winger.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is desperate to strengthen his attacking options and the 24-year-old, who can play as a winger and as a striker, fits the bill perfectly

Take it with a pinch of salt. Since leaving City, he's been linked with jobs at ten different national teams, several clubs of varying stature, a chip shop in Hinckley, a property developer in Leeds, and a plant hire company in Sittingbourne.Not an ex-player but not worthy a new thread so I put it here:
Sven could become the new coach of the Ukraine national team.
