Cool name. Gets my seal of approval.
Liverpool are watching Malaga defender Ivan Gonzalez.
Reds chief scout Eduardo Macia has recommended Gonzalez to manager Roy Hodgson, having scouted the 22 year-old since before Rafa Benitez's departure.
Cadena Ser says Premier League clubs have been in contact with Malaga about Gonzalez's availability this past week.
Liverpool are in the market for defensive reinforcements and Gonzalez, who is known for his threat at set pieces, would fit the bill.
The stopper has been a revelation for Malaga since breaking into their first team only last season.
Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is hoping to strengthen his weak squad in the January transfer window, and one of his main targets has emerged as young Belgian international Eden Hazard.
The 19-year-old winger plays for Lille in France, and has been identified by new Anfield director of football strategy Damien Comolli, who was an admirer of Hazard when he was working with St Etienne.
The winger already has 20 full caps for Belgium even though he is still a teenager, and he starred against Liverpool playing for his French club in the Europa League last season.
Hodgson will make a firm bid in January, in an attempt to head off interest from other clubs who have been watching the player, including the likes of Real Madrid and Arsenal.

Emmanuel Adebayor is ready to go to war with Manchester City to force a loan move to Tottenham in January.
Former Gunners striker Adebayor is desperate to go to Spurs, even though he knows it would make him even more of a hate figure among Arsenal fans than he already is.
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp, who already caused a furore by signing former Arsenal captain William Gallas, is keen on Adebayor and even wants City to pay half of his £120,000-a-week wages so he fits into the wage structure.
Adebayor, 26, has had a succession of bust-ups with City boss Roberto Mancini and they are now ready to let him go out on loan in January.
City have drawn up a hit-list of players they are ready to do business on in January and Adebayor is at the top along with the likes of Roque Santa Cruz and Shaun Wright-Phillips.
Big-spending City have been reluctant to sell to any of their top four rivals and refused to let Craig Bellamy go to Tottenham last summer.
Liverpool have been sounded out as City would far rather Adebayor goes to Anfield but it is believed they are so keen to offload him they are seriously considering doing a deal with Tottenham.
There has also been interest from Juventus but Adebayor is keen to stay in England even if it means becoming public enemy number one at Arsenal.
