Liverpool remain keen to sign Theo Walcott from Arsenal, despite being unable to make progress on the deal all summer.
Reports suggest new Reds boss Brendan Rodgers wants to add pace and width to his new-look Anfield squad and the England international fits the bill.
He has been linked with a move for the ex-Southampton man for several weeks, but the fact no deal has yet been done is not putting Rodgers off.
Chelsea were also rumoured to be interested in luring Walcott away from the Emirates Stadium this summer, but they have since turned to other targets and look set to bring in Victor Moses from Wigan.
Although Walcott has not expressed a desire to leave north London - and is in fact said to be settled in the capital - his place in Arsenal's first eleven could come under threat when the new season gets underway.
The Gunners have signed attackers Santi Cazorla, Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski in the current transfer window, all of whom could be vying with the Englishman for a spot in Arsene Wenger's team.
Rodgers, meanwhile, is finally making progress on his first Liverpool team, having recently added Fabio Borini and Joe Allen, and wants to make Walcott his next acquisition.
