LFC set for £5million transfer boost

Liverpool FC could secure a £5million boost to their transfer kitty with the sale of French duo David Ngog and Chris Mavinga.

Striker Ngog's proposed move to Sunderland fell through last month after he failed to agree personal terms.

The Black Cats subsequently signed Ipswich frontman Connor Wickham and their interest in Ngog has cooled.

However, Aston Villa and Fulham have both shown interest in the 22-year-old, who is keen to remain in the Premier League.

The Reds will hope to bank around £4million for Ngog, who has netted 19 goals in 94 appearances following his arrival from Paris St Germain three years ago.

Mavinga is also available following the end of his loan spell with Belgian outfit Racing Genk.

The 20-year-old defender was signed by Rafa Benitez in 2009 but failed to break into the first team.

He is currently with the France squad ahead of the Under-20 World Cup in Colombia later this month and would command a fee of around £1million.

Genk are keen to retain his services on a permanent basis, while reports in France suggest Rennes and Villarreal are also in the hunt to sign him.
