Liverpool FC transfer speculation suggests the Reds are leading the chase to sign Montoya and are preparing a bid for the talented full-back.

German press Bild reported that the Reds are going to make a pre-contract for the player who will be a free agent at the end of the season. Montoya’s agent has also confirmed that Liverpool are “ahead of the pack” to land the Spaniard.

The Reds are also said to be monitoring Saint-Etienne starlet Kurt Zouma.

Zouma is considered one of the future stars of French football and he's already secured silverware on the international stage having helped France claim the Under-20 World Cup in Turkey earlier this year.

Juventus are also said to be interested in the youngster but Liverpool are said to be favourites to make an initial bid for the player contracted until 2017 (Talk Sport).

Momentum is gathering that Valencia will sign Liverpool's Tiago Ilori in January on loan.

Reports in Portugal suggest that Ilori could be on his way to Spain after failing to win regular playing time at Anfield following his £7m summer move from Sporting Lisbon.



According to A Bola , Valencia are willing to offer Ilori more regular playing time during the second half of the season and hope that the presence of Portugese players Ricardo Costa, Joao Pereira and Helder Postiga will work in their favour (The Express).
