Eintracht Frankfurt is plotting a swoop for Liverpool striker Andriy Voronin during the January transfer window.
The mid-table Bundesliga outfit has yet to make an official approach but is keen on securing the services of the Ukrainian international.
Voronin has struggled to adapt to the demands of the Premier League since he arrived at Anfield on a free transfer from Bayer Leverkusen in 2007.
However, the 30-year-old is highly rated in Germany and scored 11 goals during a successful loan spell at Hertha Berlin last season.
Hertha wanted to make the move permanent this summer but a proposed £3million deal with Liverpool fell through.
Boss Rafa Benitez’s attacking options are severely limited, but if Eintracht match that fee and the Spaniard are guaranteed he will be able to reinvest the funds he may decide to do business.
Voronin has yet to find the net in three starts and nine substitute appearances for the Reds so far this season and young Frenchman David Ngog has leapt above him in the pecking order to be Fernando Torres’ understudy.
The Ukrainian, who is under contract until 2011, may also have to move on in search of regular football in order to fulfill his dream of playing in next summer’s World Cup after he was left out of the squad for their play-off with Greece on Saturday.
