Liverpool are looking to bolster their goalkeeping squad with a move for former World Cup winner Ron-Robert Zieler in what could be the transfer overseen by the Reds' likely new sporting director Jorg Schmadtke, according to reports.
The 34-year-old captain of 2. Bundesliga outfit Hannover 96 was one of the statement signings made by Schmadtke after his appointment as sporting director at the German club in 2009.
Zieler made the move back to his home country after a stint in Manchester, having been signed by Sir Alex Ferguson to the youth side in 2005, before promotion to the senior side in 2008.
