Enrique to Liverpool "Done deal" says Phil Thompson.Former Liverpool defender and assistant manager, Phil Thompson is claiming that Newcastle United left back, Jose Enrique, will become a Liverpool player at the end of the season.
Speaking to Norwegian TV channel, TV2, Thompson reported that a deal for the 25 year old is “a done deal”, saying:
“From what I’ve heard, yes the deal has been done and he will come to Liverpool.”
The nasally well endowed pundit and Liverpool insider continued:
