Roy Hodgson Eyes Swoop For Striker Peter Crouch

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson is eyeing a move to bring Peter Crouch back to Anfield, according to The Independent.

Crouch, 29, has been a long-term target for Hodgson from his time at Fulham and he was beaten to his signature last summer by Tottenham Hotspur. The 62-year-old could finally get his wish now he has arrived on Merseyside.

The England substitute at this summer's World Cup - who scored 22 Premier League goals in three years for the Reds - was a club favourite before he left, but his arrival would not soften the blow if superstar Fernando Torres was sold to Chelsea.

If Crouch arrives, he could form a new look strike force with £8 million-rated Juventus veteran David Trezeguet.
