Liverpool scout McPhee

LIVERPOOL dispatched a scout to watch Stephen McPhee play for Beira-Mar on Sunday.

The Reds sent scouting co-ordinator Frank McParland to watch Beira-Mar face Sporting Lisbon and McPhee was understood to be the reason for his trip.

The game ended 2-2 and although McPhee did not score, McParland said: “He is a player that we have checked on already before coming here and we know he has done well in the Portuguese championship.”
