美羅一月或借去史棟城
Neil Mellor's agent has suggested the Liverpool striker will consider a loan move to Stoke during the January transfer window.
The forward had been lined up for a switch to The Britannia Stadium last week, but concerns over his knee injury prompted The Reds to block the move.
Mellor is likely to be down the pecking order at Anfield when he returns to fitness and a loan move could be revived in January.
"First and foremost he has to get fit and playing again," Mellor's agent Phil Sprosson told The Sentinel. "But if he is up and running by November, then there is clearly a chance Stoke might come back in for him in the January transfer window.
"I've mentioned Stoke to Neil and he is definitely interested. He has asked about the club, so I've told him it is a good club with a great fan base."
Sprosson expects his client to have much to consider in January.
"There will be no shortage of takers for a player like Neil once he is fit," added Sprosson. "Any club in the top half of The Championship would be interested."
"But if it's a loan deal then I think he will want to commute from his home in Cheshire and that could clearly give Stoke a big advantage. But if he doesn't fancy Stoke, then I've told him Port Vale would be a great move."

Liverpool midfielder Momo Sissoko is aiming to become a better player than Patrick Vieira
The 20-year-old joined the European champions from Valencia during the summer and has made an immediate impression at Anfield.
Sissoko has made seven appearances for The Reds and has started both the club's games in The Premiership.
Upon his signing from Valencia, the Mali international was compared to French powerhouse Vieira by his manager Rafa Benitez.
The Liverpool boss has tipped Sissoko to become a better player than the Juventus ace once he matures.
Surpassing Vieira's achievements is a goal for Sissoko and the youngster hopes he can enjoy as illustrious a career as the ex-Arsenal captain.
"Patrick has achieved almost everything there is to do in football and won lots of things," said Sissoko.
"But if I keep working hard maybe I can get to that level or become even better and one day people will talk about Sissoko rather than Vieira."

Portsmouth loan man Salif Diao rejected clubs in Italy and Spain because he wanted to prove that he is good enough to make the grade in this country.
Diao is at Pompey on a loan from Liverpool, but is determined to prove that his inability to break into The Reds' side is not due to a lack of ability.
"Gerard Houllier wouldn't have spent £5 million on me if he didn't feel I had good qualities as a midfielder and with an extended run in the Premiership this season, I'm confident people will at last see the real Salif Diao," said the Senegal international.
"While there was interest from a number of clubs in Spain and also Fiorentina in Italy, I decided to join Pompey because I am determined to prove myself as a success in this country.
"A lot of rubbish has been spoken about me these past few months, but hopefully I now have the platform to show exactly what I can do.
"Injuries have not helped my cause, either at Liverpool or when I was on loan at Birmingham towards the end of last season.
"Even in this current pre-season at Anfield, my calf problem flared up again but I finally got to play last week in a reserve game against Newcastle United and came through the 90 minutes unscathed.
"It was the first time I had completed a match since I played for Birmingham against West Brom, but hopefully I can continue to build up my fitness and get in contention for a first-team place.
"I'm initially at Portsmouth for a year, but I don't want to make predictions about what might or might not happen in the future, whether I will stay longer or return to Liverpool.
"What is important is that I am playing regularly. It's a World Cup year, and I need to be playing each week if I am to break back into the Senegal side." |
