Liverpool Set Sights On Giant £12m Forward

Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is planning a January move for Cluj forward Lacina Traore as he looks to improve his threadbare attacking options. The Anfield club attempted to sign Carlton Cole and Roman Pavlyuchenko last month and are desperate to offer under fire Fernando Torres more support to help shoulder his goalscoring burden.

The giant Ivorian has been a massive success since his move to the Romanian champions and has been linked with a move to the Premier League for some time with the likes of Tottenham and Everton previously reportedly interested in signing the 6ft 8in striker.

Hodgson is hoping to bring in a big striker who he can play as a foil for Spanish international Torres and a move for Traore would reportedly cost around £12m and if a bid was placed for the 20 year old he would surely be very tempted at a move to Merseyside.
