Liverpool’s emphatic seven-goal hammering of Spartak Moscow left Emre Can in bullish form. “If you want to go through to the next round you have to win, it doesn’t matter who,” he said. “Emre Can of Liverpool would be ideal, and he’s not even that expensive,” said Del Piero. Real Madrid are also believed to be interested, but the Rumour Mill reckons he’ll stay put until June at least. And yesterday’s whisper that Sam Allardyce is preparing a £60m bid for unsettled Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang appears to have gathered traction.
