Liverpool is the latest club to take a look at Reading striker Shane Long with a view to making a possible move for the striker.
The Reds had scouts watching the Republic of Ireland international bag a brace during Reading's pre-season win over Northampton last weekend and they are the latest in a long line of reported interested parties.
Neighbours Everton have also been linked with the player and their need for a striker looks to be greater than Liverpool's.
West Brom has also been linked with the 24-year-old, but so far only relegated West Ham has made a bid.
Their offer of £6m was dismissed by the Royals who want to keep Long to spearhead an assault on the Premier League next season.
It remains to be seen whether Kenny Dalglish would make a move for the striker or whether Long himself would consider coming to a club where he would be third choice front man behind Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez.
