Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is concerned about his options in the centre of defence and is keen to bring Croatian centre-back Dejan Lovren to the club in January.
The Reds have struggled to keep clean sheets this season and have conceded 10 goals in 10 league games so far this season, leading Dalglish to believe he needs to strengthen his defensive options.
The 22-year-old has become one of the most sought after defenders in Ligue 1 after a string of superb performances for Lyon and the Croatia national team.
Lovren has become a regular under Slaven Bilic and recently scored his first goal for Croatia in a Euro 2012 qualifier against Malta.
Lyon are desperate to keep hold of the 6ft 2" defender but are aware that there is plenty of interest in the player not only from England but also Italy.
Lovren's agent Nikky Vuksan revealed that there is interest from the Premier League with sides hoping to sign the player in the New Year.
"Many top clubs in England have spoken to us in recent weeks and also [clubs] in Italy," Vuksan said.
"Lyon know that and I think the leaders should think about it if they finally receive a good offer."
