Liverpool scout Wigan ace as Mignolet backup

Liverpool  scout Wigan ace as Mignolet backup

Liverpool are reported to be keeping tabs on young Wigan goalkeeper Lee Nicholls as cover for Simon Mignolet.

The 21-year-old has impressed since breaking into the Wigan side and Latics boss Owen Coyle has already predicted that the youngster has a very bright future in the game.

Brendan Rodgers has sent scouts to watch Nicholls in action and although he dropped a clanger against Zulte Waragem in midweek, the reports back have been favourable.

Brad Jones currently acts as back up to Mignolet, but Rodgers is keen to draft in a youngster who he can groom to one day become number one at Anfield, and Nicholls could be that man.
