Liverpool Eye Edin Dzeko As Replacement For Fernando Torres


Liverpool are lining up Wolfsburg hit man Edin Dzeko to replace Fernando Torres, should the Spanish international leave Anfield this summer according to the News of the World.

Dzeko, 24, was the leading goalscorer in the Bundesliga last season and his goalscoring exploits have attracted interest from a number of top clubs including AC Milan, Chelsea and Manchester City.

However, the report claims that new Wolfsburg coach Steve McClaren, may look to get as much as he can for the German side's star player.

Sources suggest that Liverpool will offer both Lucas Leiva and Ryan Babel plus cash, for a player valued at around £30 million.

If the Merseysiders were to make a move, it would be the clearest indication yet that they expect Torres to leave this summer.
