Report: Liverpool Set Sights On Arsenal Star Eduardo
Under-fire Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is preparing to pursue a £10 million deal for Arsenal striker Eduardo da Silva, according to News of the World.
The Reds are in dire need of attacking reinforcement, as the ongoing injury problems of Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres have exposed the squad's lack of depth on several occasions this season.
The Merseyside giants - currently seventh in the Premier League standings - are battling through their worst form slump in decades as they struggle to keep touch with the frontrunners.
Thus, Benitez is hoping the Anfield board will make funds available this winter so he can arm his side against the threat of Champions League chasers Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and Manchester City.
High on the Spaniard's hit-list is Eduardo, the Brazil-born Croatia star, who is understood to be growing increasingly dissatisfied with his situation at the Emirates Stadium.
The 26-year-old has made just three starts in the league this term, and (although he recently insisted otherwise) is reputedly upset at having been shunted onto the flanks by Arsene Wenger.
Furthermore, Eduardo is annoyed that the Gunners have given no indication as to whether or not they wish to extend his contract, which expires in 18 months' time.
