Liverpool FC: David N'Gog Looks Certain to Make a Move to Bolton by Deadline Day

(Bleacher Report) Behind all the current Craig Bellamy and Sebastian Coates transfer news for the Reds is the continuing possibility of young French striker David N'Gog and his proposed move to Bolton Wanderers.

N'Gog is a left over prodigy of the Rafael Benitez era and he has so far totaled 94 appearances for the club scoring 19 goals for the Reds. Owen Coyle has admitted to wanting to bring the player in since week one.

He has been on the Trotters radar since this middle of summer and with him being confined to the Reds reserve squad so far since the end of preseason, he could jump at the chance for first team action at least twice as likely at the Reebok.

Bolton have been in need of additional attacking options since the departure of Johan Elmander, and the expiration of Danny Sturridge's loan deal from Chelsea. N'Gog could be the solution for a time and it is believed he would move for around £4 million.

Dirk Kuyt has taken up the third striker spot when he is not deputizing on the right flank. If the Reds do sign Craig Bellamy, then the 22-year old Frenchman is effectively out of a job.

It has also been said that despite the Reds interest in a move for Bolton's Gary Cahill, the switch of N'Gog to the Reebok would be a completely separate deal.

Birmingham vs. Bolton Wanderers

Martins Winner Earns Carling Cup

St. Andrews will play host to the first fixture of the FA Cup weekend. Birmingham are fresh off of their stunning and unforeseen victory over Arsenal to win the League Cup and book themselves a place in the Champions League next season. However, their exceptional Cup victory and FA Cup run has been at the expense of their Premiership showing this year. The Blues are just above the drop zone on goal differential and no club has ever won two domestic cups and then been relegated, but this has been a bizarre season for sure.

Bolton Wanderers are in seventh place and above many critics expectations so far this season. Owen Coyle has led his team to a much under acknowledged top seven season so far. With this being their best season in several years and with a possible place in Europe secured with their current standings position, if they can hold it for the final 9 game run in, the match could hold significant value as this is the only chance they have left to take some hardware back to the Reebok. The last time Bolton won the FA Cup was 1958 and American Midfielder Stuart Holden is out to achieve victory with his newest squad.

Coyle and Holden have made their presence Felt

I look for some key midfield match-ups between Barry Ferguson of Birmingham against both Stuart Holden and Fabrice Muamba, and Gary Cahill and Steven Carr will be hoping to hold each teams respected attackers at bay. The experience of Obafemi Martins will give Birmingham a stronger attack against Coyle's Charges than the last time the two met in August seeing them play to a 2-2 draw, but Chelsea's on loan attacker Daniel Sturridge has already put four goals in for his on loan side Bolton.

Look to see the Trotters take it to the Blues and take a 1-2 victory back to the Reebok as they continue their run of success this season, and they will play a rematch with the Blues on April 2nd.
