Liverpool Plan £12m January Raid To Capture Brazilian Goal Machine

Roy Hodgson has set his sights on Partizan striker Cleo as he looks to bring in some much needed firepower to his poorly performing Anfield side.

Liverpool have managed just seven goals thus far this season and only two of those have come from recognized strikers leaving Hodgson looking for alternative attacking options. With the issue of ownership of the club looking a lot clearer and the future looking more hopeful the Merseyside club hopes to have funds to reinvest in the coming transfer window.

25 year old Cleo has had a marvellous season netting an incredible 16 goals in 14 matches including nine in Champions League action. The powerfully built forward is a good target man with a great deal of flair and has a penchant for spectacular finishes.

Partizan will be reticent to lose the former Red Star Belgrade hit man but will also realize that such a move would be hugely tempting and are therefore more than likely to consider offers as long as they are in the region of their valuation which is reportedly around £12m.
