Manchester City in for Liverpool defender? - 10:36 AM, May. 22, 2006

Djimi Traore is a target for Stuart Pearce according to weekend reports

The 26-year-old Frenchman has been with Liverpool since 1999 but was once again on the fringes of the Anfield first team for much of last season.

Traore has been linked with Everton in the past and now City are showing an interest as Pearce attempts to strengthen his squad on a tight budget.
