Rickie Lambert leaving Liverpool?

English striker Rickie Lambert is expected to seek a fresh challenge away from Liverpool this summer.

The former Saints striker sealed his dream move to Liverpool last summer, having played most of his career in the lower divisions.

However, he failed to make most of his opportunity and was often used from the bench last season.

Reports now reveal that the England international may well seek a move elsewhere to secure regular first-team football.

Crystal Palace and Bournemouth are deemed to be interested in the player's services.
