Dalglish to use Liverpool funds for big star

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is set to be given a 'significant' transfer budget to use this summer - but rather than add depth to his squad, he is set to rely on younger players from the academy and use the money for one big star.

Liverpool have already been linked with a series of top names in world football amid expectations that new owners Fenway Sports Group will invest heavily at the end of the season.

Several Reds fans are calling on Dalglish to improve the squad by adding strength in depth.

However, the recent performances of some of the younger stars already at the club are said to be encouraging the Scot to go in a different direction.

A large kitty to spend on just one or two names would give Dalglish free rein to go after any of Europe's top stars, in the same way he splashed out almost £60million on Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll in January.
