Liverpool stopper set for Cesena switch

Liverpool keeper Diego Cavalieri is poised to make a move to Italian side Cesena.

Cavalieri, 27, has failed to establish a first-team place at Anfield and has now fallen further down the pecking order following the arrival of Brad Jones from Middlesbrough.

The Brazilian keeper is determined to play regular first-team football and knows he will face an uphill struggle to force his way past Pepe Reina in the Liverpool side.

Reports in Brazil suggest that Cesena are the strong favourites to clinch his signature and Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is unlikely to stand in his way if he wants to leave the Merseyside club.
