Reds eye Cottage raid

FulhamLiverpool are set to make an offer for Fulham keeper Antti Niemi after a snub from Birmingham's Maik Taylor.

Reds boss Rafa Benitez is looking for experienced cover for number one Pepe Reina and wanted Northern Ireland international Taylor before he signed a new two-year deal at St Andrews.

Niemi knows his path to the first team at Craven Cottage is likely to be blocked by Mark Schwarzer next season but it remains to be seen if he wants to move to Anfield as an understudy.
