Reports in Italy and Germany have suggested that Liverpool Football Club are preparing a transfer bid of around €20m for Uruguayan goal predator Edison Cavani, aptly nicknamed El Matador with a move that could happen as soon as January to add forward support to that of Fernando Torres.
Although Liverpool seem to have financial problems at the moment it seems that the Anfield manager, Roy Hodgson, has been given some cash to invest in more talent he feels would boost the Kop outfit, having already bought players such as Raul Meireles and Milan Jovanovic.
The sale of ex Liverpool player Javier Mascherano to Barcelona will also have provided Hodgson with a lump sum and it looks as though the Kop boss will use it to effect in providing some firepower up front.
Cavani is currently playing his football in Napoli, on loan from Palermo, and his recent performances for Napoli have raised eyebrows on Merseyside. He is a big six footer, strong, powerful and could compliment both Liverpool Skipper Steven Gerrard and Torres up front.
With Liverpool only having picked up five points from a possible fifteen, Roy Hodgson sees the need for more goals in the Premiership and El Matador, it seems, could be the answer.
