Liverpool are believed to be interested in securing the services of Salomon Kalou after the attacker became a free agent on July 1.
Chelsea did not offer the forward a new contract and he was eventually allowed to leave the club as he looks for a new challenge after six successful years with the west London club.
Kalou won the Premier League, four FA Cups, the League Cup and the Champions League during his time at Stamford Bridge and he certainly brings a wealth of experience at the highest level.
ESPN is reporting that Liverpool is one of several clubs that are hoping to persuade Kalou to join them. One problem for the Reds is that they will not be able to offer Champions League football, something that the Senegal international has grown accustomed to.
The 26-year-old previously played in Holland where he spent three years with Feyenoord, but much will now depend on whether he wants to test himself in another league, or if he would prefer to stay in England.
Liverpool are certainly looking to add some attacking options after their own former Feyenoord forward Dirk Kuyt left the club.
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers will have to hope that he can convince Kalou that he can take the club forward after a disappointing league campaign under Kenny Dalglish as Liverpool finished in eighth place.
