Liverpool have made contingency plans for any departure of Fernando Torres this summer and have outlined Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan as an ideal replacement.
According to the News of the World, having enhanced his reputation during a successful World Cup 2010 campaign, Gyan is now said to be valued in the region of £20 million by his French club Rennes.
Despite missing the crucial penalty is his side's quarter-final clash against Uruguay, Gyan has made the shortlist of 10 players for the coveted Golden Ball award.
His displays have brought the 24-year-old onto Liverpool's radar, as they prepare for a season without their stellar striker Torres, should he decide his future lies elsewhere.
New Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson is also reportedly working hard to bring Joe Cole to Anfield, but fears are growing that the former Chelsea man would prefer to stay in London for family reasons.
The Reds are said to be prepared to pay around £100,000 a week for Cole, and would guarantee him more first-team football than at any of the other clubs interested in the Londoner.
