Liverpool plotting pre-season tour of Asia

Worawi Makudi, president of the Football Association of Thailand, said he had been approached by Liverpool's representative, former England international Steve McMahon, with a view to setting up the club's third visit to the kingdom in eight years.

"We've had a few meetings already and the visit is very likely to happen," Worawi told Reuters.

"We have so many Liverpool fans in Thailand, this will be great for them and great for Thai football."

"Nothing has been finalised yet," an official from the Football Association of Singapore told Reuters.

"But we have been approached several times by representatives of the Premier League club and we are now in talks."

Lam Shing Kui, general secretary of Hong Kong's soccer federation confirmed Liverpool's interest and told the South China Morning Post: "We are still working out the details. If Liverpool come they will play against the Hong Kong team."
