Liverpool offering wing target route out of Russia
It appears as if Aiden McGeady may be set for a return to more familiar surroundings after sources suggested that the winger could be ready to leave Spartak Moscow.
The news comes after the Russian outfit agreed a fee to sign Everton attacker, Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, who is being tipped as a replacement for an immediate departure.
The former Celtic attacker has made 45 appearances for the Moscow side scoring five times and making 20 assists.
The Republic of Ireland international may be open to a move back to the UK top be closer to family and an offer of £10m may give him his homecoming.

Kenny Dalglish has been linked with interest in Aiden McGeady before, last January, and it appears that he is once again a Liverpool target, which is no surprise as currently the Anfield side is struggling for natural width.
McGeady has by no means been a flop in Russia, in fact he has become something of a cult hero at the Spartak Moscow but it seems that the former Celtic man is hoping to secure a move to the Premier League and the fact that Everton’s Diniyar Bilyaletdinov is set to move to the Luzhniki Stadium may well give the 25 the opportunity to make just such a move.
The Irish international is a quality wide-man with bags of pace and the tricks to beat his man, a player who could help provide ammunition for Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez. The Glasgow born winger can play on either wing and Liverpool could well do with a player of his type to help boost their firepower.
Stewart Downing started well after his move from Aston Villa but has seen his form dip in recent months and on the right both Jordan Henderson and Dirk Kuyt have struggled to make the position there own.
This could well be £10m well invested.
Liverpool are reportedly said to be interested in Fulham attacker Clint Dempsey as Kenny Dalglish looks to boost his attacking options. The 28 year old American international has been in great form this season and has attracted the Anfield boss’s interest as he hopes to add more of a cutting edge to his forward line.
Dalglish is considering making a bid in the region of £12m for the Texan, who thus far has netted 15 goals in all competitions this season, and may feel he could persuade the former New England Revolution man to make the move to Merseyside after five years at Craven Cottage.
Liverpool have managed just 25 goals in 22 Premier League matches this season and with Luis Suarez in the middle of a lengthy ban and Andy Carroll failing to find his feet since his £35m move to the club, a move for Dempsey may be a wise one not least because the Fulham man can play in an attacking central midfield role as well as out wide.
Fulham have arguably gone backwards over the course of Dempsey’s six seasons at the club, three seasons ago the West London club finished in the top seven and the following campaign saw Roy Hodgson take the club to the Europa League final and last term they once again earned European qualification.
This season has been very up and down and Martin Jol’s first term in charge has led them to 12th spot after a recent run of good form has helped stabilize their season. However Liverpool’s ability to challenge for a Champions League spot may tempt Dempsey into considering offers.
QPR are also said to be keen on the US international star, who has less than 18 months to run on his current contract but one would imagine that a move to prospective suitors from Merseyside would trump interest from Fulham’s local rivals, who are firmly entrenched in a relegation battle.
Dempsey’s ability to play a forward thinking midfield role may also be of interest as the likes of Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam have failed to make a consistently effective impact since their summer moves to Liverpool but primarily any interest in the Fulham man would be in relation to his more advanced striking role.
Liverpool’s American owners may well be keen on making an investment in a US national team star as to do so would help the club maximize it’s potential in North America.
