Kenny Dalglish is prepared to play a waiting game to land Newcastle rebel Jose Enrique, according to the 'Mirror'.
 
The Liverpool boss has been put off by Newcastle’s vastly inflated valuation of the Spanish international left back, and has resisted the temptation to make a formal offer, it said.
 
But Enrique has just a year left on his current deal, and has indicated he has absolutely no intention of renewing after the club failed to make him an improved offer.

Newcastle have already been looking for a replacement for the Spaniard, and have intensified their efforts after Enrique criticised their lack of ambition this week.
 
The player was fined for that outburst, and Magpies boss Alan Pardew has drawn up a shortlist of potential successors, with Manchester City misfit Wayne Bridge a top target.
 
All that has persuaded Dalglish to wait for the right moment to make a reduced offer for the player, whom he values at around £5 million.
 
Enrique himself is desperate to move, and would welcome the chance to go to Anfield, given the club’s obvious ambition.
