Liverpool are being touted to make a shock January move for in-form Wolves striker Steven Fletcher.
The Scottish striker, who has bagged six goals in ten appearances this season has reportedly caught the eye of Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish, who is growing concerned at his side's lack of goals this term.
Liverpool have only found the net 17 times this season, some way off the Premier League front runners.
While Liverpool have one of the highest chances created rates in the league, the main concern will be the low conversion rate, something which has led to many questioning the pricey acquisition of Andy Carroll nearly a year ago.
The club's owners appear reluctant to break the bank when the transfer window re-opens and are instead hoping the acumen of Director of Football Damien Comolli will allow the club to strengthen without spending too much.
The 24-year-old Fletcher, who has eight caps for Scotland, would be expected to relish a move to Anfield, although his current boss Mick McCarthy would be reluctant to let his striker leave.
Should Liverpool make a concrete offer, they would have to bid in the region of £5 million for his services.
