Metro: Reds eye defender

Liverpool are chasing Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat for a summer transfer, according to reports.

Janmaat, 25, is reportedly being lined up by Brendan Rodgers.

The Dutch defender, who joined Newcastle for £5 million from Feyenoord, is tied into a six-year contract at St James' Park but Liverpool are considering a summer bid.

Janmaat was linked with Louis van Gaal's Manchester United before joining Newcastle, so a transfer to Anfield would come as a surprise to Reds fans.
