Star defender desperate to leave Liverpool

Liverpool defender Daniel Agger is increasingly eager to leave the club before the conclusion of summer transfer window.

The Dane had found chance hard to come by last season, following the increase in competition from the likes of Kolo Toure, Martin Skrtel and Mamadou Sakho for the central defensive role.

Having seen the club acquire the services of Dejan Lovren from Southampton this summer, Agger knows that his chances will most likely be in limited proportion.

Latest reports reveal that the talented defender will push for a switch away from Anfield, with Spanish champions Atletico Madrid keen on securing his services this summer.
