Sneijder Urging Kuyt To Join Inter

Dutch playmaker Wesley Sneijder has urged his Inter Milan team to snap up his international team-mate Dirk Kuyt.
Inter are known to be interested in the combative Liverpool forward, whose agent admitted that the two clubs are in contact.
'The two clubs are talking but nothing is finalised yet,' Robert Jansen told Calciomercato website.
Although he did add that Kuyt's ommission from the Liverpool team that faced Trabzonspor in the Europa League on Thursday night - which prevents him from being cup-tied in Europe should he move elsewhere - was 'a signal'.
'I don't know how far advanced the discussions are and I can't even speculate on a price, those aspects relate to the clubs.
'(Kuyt) knows about this great interest in him and it's no secret that he has a good relationship with (former Liverpool and now Inter Milan coach) Rafael Benitez.'
With Maro Balotelli leaving Inter for Manchester City, the Serie A champions need a replacement and Sneijder believes his compatriot would be the right man.
'With him it's like playing with 12 and not 11 players,' Sneijder told Corriere dello Sport.
'Kuyt is always running for two and with the work that he does he's always vital, whether for the national team or Liverpool.'
