Liverpool: Liverpool accept Murphy bid

Liverpool look set to cut another link with the Gerard Houllier era after accepting a bid from Tottenham for midfielder Danny Murphy.

The Anfield club confirmed on Sunday morning that Spurs had made an offer in the region of 3million for the 27-year-old.

Charlton and Everton have also expressed interest in the player but have not made an offer.

Liverpool head of press Ian Cotton told the club's official website, www.liverpoolfc.tv: "I can confirm that Liverpool have accepted an offer from Tottenham Hotspur for Danny Murphy."

Were the Merseysider to leave, his departure would end a seven-year association with the club.

Tottenham have pulled out of talks to sign Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy because they could not guarantee him first-team football, according to the north London club.

The England international had been linked with a move to White Hart Lane after falling out of favour under new Reds boss Rafael Benitez.
