Taribo set to join Liverpool
LAGOS,
Nigerian international defender Taribo West has told a local radio station here Friday that he is on the verge of signing for English Premiership side Liverpool.
"But for (Gerard) Houllier`s illness, I would have signed a four-year contract with Liverpool this week. Everything has been sorted out and all I needed do was bring down my stuff from Milan," West told local station Rhythm FM Friday.
The defender, who helped Nigeria win the 1996 Olympic title in Atlanta, is still surplus to requirement at Italian giants AC Milan, who he joined in 1999 on a two-and-a-half year deal. He spent most of last season on loan with Derby County in the English Premiership.
The 27-year-old West started his career in Europe aged 19 years with French outfit Auxerre, where he had four successful years winning a title and two French Cups before moving to Inter Milan in Italy with whom he won the UEFA Cup in 1998.
