Liverpool have reportedly become shock contenders for the signature of Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor as manager Kenny Dalglish looks to bolster his forward line.
The 27-year-old Togo international's career at City appears certainly over having spent the second half of last season on loan at Real Madrid before joining Tottenham on a temporary basis for this campaign.
He has started life brightly at White Hart Lane, scoring five goals and setting up two in nine games. Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has made no secret of his desire to sign Adebayor on a permanent deal at the end of this season, but has admitted the club may struggle to finance the move.
However, according to caughtoffside.com, Dalglish is ready to tempt the former Arsenal striker to Anfield as he looks to bolster his front line.
Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll were both signed during last season's January transfer window, but have so far failed to sparkle as a partnership.
The arrival of Craig Bellamy in the summer for a second spell at the Reds has bolstered their attacking options somewhat, but it is thought Dalglish is keen to make Adebayor the team's number one centre-forward.
City are asking for £15m to make any deal permanent and with Liverpool eager to sign an established marksman to fire them back into the Champions League, it is thought the Reds are prepared to make a competitive offer.
