Liverpool's struggles in the league continued on Tuesday night as they were beaten 1-0 at Anfield by Fulham who are now level on points with the Merseyside club.
The Reds have struggled all season at home and it seems as though manager Kenny Dalglish may well be in the market for another striker after seeing yet another wasteful display.
Dalglish and assistant Steve Clarke travelled to France last Friday to watch Montpellier in action where they will have been able to watch forward Olivier Giroud in action.
The French striker is the top scorer in Ligue 1 this season with 19 league goals and has impressed so much that he is almost a certainty to travel to Euro 2012, despite having just three caps to his name.
The Daily Mail has reported that Giroud has a release clause of around £13.5million, but believe that a stumbling block to the move could be the lack of Champions League football.
Another striker that is known to be on the radar is FC Twente forward Luuk de Jong whose agent yesterday admitted that Liverpool are one of the clubs interested in signing the Dutch forward.
However, Liverpool will face plenty of competition for the striker with his agent also claiming that there are believed to be 15 clubs interested in signing the forward who has scored 23 goals in 28 league appearances.
