Andre Wisdom exits on LOAN (possible sweetener for Will Hughes)
Liverpool are letting England under-21 defender Andre Wisdom go to Steve McClaren's Derby County on loan.
McClaren made an approach for highly-rated Wisdom - who can play right back or centre half - despite his side's big win at Watford. Wisdom has been available to go out for games for a few weeks and Brendan Rodgers is happy for him to go to the Rams for action.
McClaren wanted to bring in a new defender from the day he arrived and the chance to snap up Wisdom for the rest of the year is a major boost for his squad.
The clubs are working on the financial arrangements, with Wisdom on a decent Premier League salary for his age.However Derby are prepared to pay a fair chunk of Wisdom's wages to bring him to Pride Park as their bid for a top-six finish begins.
Wisdom has been a frequent part of Rodgers's plans, but the return of senior men has meant his progress will be stalled.The move for Wisdom will be a good for all parties involved with Liverpool potentially becoming the biggest winner in January.
The highly coveted midfield maestro Will Hughes again made headlines on Saturday for producing a worthy match-winning pass to Conor Sammon who scored the late winner. He has been without question the most documented young footballer in the Championship this season which has linked him to possible moves like Barcelona, Manchester United and Manchester City.
There is no question that Hughes will have his eyes set on becoming a Liverpool legend in the future as he has made no secret of his admiration of his boyhood club. He has also previously made digs at other clubs supposedly interested in signing him. Last season he was found mocking Manchester United after their Champions League heart-ache on twitter. The same tweets have done enough to put a vast majority of Manchester United fans off signing the talented youngster, but no-doubt aided Liverpool in pursuing their interest.
Liverpool sending Wisdom to Derby could become a master-stoke for the Merseyside club. Whilst it may not guarantee anything initially building up relations with a club when trying to sign a player is always going to stand you in good stead. Hughes will have already made up his mind as everyone wants to play for their boyhood team. It’s Derby that are the decision makers of this particular deal and Liverpool have played it smartly sending out one of their most talented young players.
