31 August 2010 10:15
iverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva is uncertain whether Roy Hodgson will look to move him on today amid interest from Stoke City.[LNB] Lucas, a regular under former manager Rafael Benitez, has seen competition increase following the arrivals of Christian Poulsen and Raul Meireles and could soon find himself a bit-part player at Anfield.[LNB]After Sunday's victory over West Brom Hodgson said he could not rule out the sale of the Brazil international - providing a big bid came in - and Lucas does not know what to expect.[LNB]"What is the situation? I don't know. I'm still playing," said the club's young player of the year last season.[LNB]"At the moment, I haven't had any offers. I don't know if the club wants to sell me. I just have to wait.[LNB]"I'm going away with the national team (on Thursday) and I can't say any more than that.[LNB]"We don't have any games so we will be training for a week in Barcelona.[LNB]"If the club want to sell me, what can I do? I just have to wait and see what will happen.[LNB]"I need to be playing and I want to be playing but I believe that I am doing well.[LNB]"The manager will choose who plays. I have a contract here and if I don't get anything good for me or for the club, then I will stay."[LNB]Stoke are set to sign Marc Wilson from Portsmouth but want a second midfielder to partner him, with Tottenham's Jermaine Jenas also a target.[LNB]Tony Pulis could make as many as five signings today, with reports this morning claiming he may move for Wigan's Charles N'Zogbia.[LNB]Eidur Gudjohnsen is also expected to join the club on a season-long loan deal from Monaco.
