Football: Liverpool bid for Sinton

LIVERPOOL last night made a late attempt to sign the Queen's Park Rangers' midfielder, Andy Sinton, the two clubs agreeing on a fee before last night's match at Loftus Road, writes Ian Ridley.

Liverpool, it is believed, are willing to pay Rangers the full asking price of pounds 2.75m and QPR are thought to prefer to accept their offer since, should Sinton go to Sheffield Wednesday, they may have to await the verdict of a transfer tribunal. Sinton's preference for Sheffield Wednesday came before he knew of Liverpool's interest, and may cause him to rethink his position today.
