Hodgson Keeping Check On Toivonen, Afellay

PSV Eindhoven pair Ibrahim Afellay and Ola Toivonen are on Liverpool's shopping list. Reds boss Roy Hodgson made a personal check on the duo in action against Twente Enschede at the weekend as he closes in on his January transfer targets, says the Mirror. The Kop chief jetted to the game and back in time to take charge of the Bolton match, with sidekick Kenny Dalglish also watching PSV in the last fortnight. PSV's highly-rated skipper Afellay is on the fringe of the Holland national side and giant Swede Toivonen has been on the Anfield radar before.
