Much has been made of Liverpool’s profligacy in front of goal this season with Kenny Dalglish’s side drawing six times at Anfield in the Premier League this season.
Throw in Luis Suarez’s impending eight-game suspension and Liverpool are going to need at least one reinforcement in the striking department to aid the misfiring Andy Carroll, Craig Bellamy and Dirk Kuyt who have just four Premier League goals between them.
Clean Sheets suggests six players that have been linked with a move to Liverpool who could solve Dalglish’s dilemma…
1. Teofilo Gutierrez – Racing Club de Avellaneda – Possible value: £8m
Perhaps the most far-fetched of this list, Gutierrez is currently playing his football in Argentina and has scored six times in 11 games. A Colombian international.
2. Lukasz Podoloski – Cologne – £20m
Podolski has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal but the German’s goalscoring form in the Bundesliga could also alert Liverpool.
3. Moussa Dembele – Fulham – £10m
Belgian Dembele is being praised for his performances in the Premier League this season – including an impressive display against Liverpool recently – but his lack of goals (just one this season) surely means he’s not the answer.
4. Rory Donnelly – Cliftonville – £1m
Both Everton and Swansea City have made bids for Irish forward Donnelly with Liverpool’s interest also being confirmed by Cliftonville’s chairman.
5. Klass-Jan Huntelaar – Schalke – £25m
By far the most prolific striker on this list is Huntelaar with an incredible 26 goals in 27 games for Schalke this season. The reason Robin van Persie could be Holland’s second choice forward next summer.
6. Fernando Torres – Chelsea – £20m
It couldn’t happen, could it? Whispers in recent weeks have suggested that Torres could make a dramatic return to Anfield following his £50m exit just one year ago.
