Liverpool Target Giant Free Scoring French Hitman

Liverpool have been linked with Luis Suarez of Ajax for some time now and a deal did appear very close, however the clubs cannot agree a fee and it is now being reported that Kenny Dalglish, the Liverpool manager, has set his sites on 26 year old Paris St Germain striker Guillaume Hoarau.

Hoarau has been knocking the goals in fairly consistently finding the net 23 times in 50 games for St Germain and has finally broken through to the French National team appearing three times for them, he has been likened to a former Liverpool forward, Peter Crouch, mainly due to his size at 6ft 4in.

No fee has been mentioned but it is thought that Hoarau will cost in the region of £6 Million based on previous figures giving a valuation on the player, a fee that Liverpool can certainly afford.

It is now just a question of timing, the Suarez deal is still there if Ajax will be more reasonable or Liverpool more realistic, depending on your view, but if no deal is done and done soon then Liverpool do have other options and Guillaume Hoarau is just one of those options available to the Anfield side.
