It is being widely reported in the English media that Liverpool are once again in the hunt for Emile Heskey, the Aston Villa and England striker.
The former Red has been linked on and off with a return to Anfield over the past 12 months, and The Mirror claims that Rafael Benitez is eager to bring him in this winter as an alternative - or partner - to Fernando Torres.
However, 'El Nino' himself recently outlined the problems the Merseyside outfit face in snaring the right players, the chief concern at the moment being finances.
While the board has backed Benitez in the midst what is fast becoming a horror campaign, The Times reports that the Spanish tactician must sell before he can buy.
Ryan Babel, Andriy Voronin, Andrea Dossena and Philipp Degen are all understood to be hovering near the exit door, all four having failed to make their mark in the Premier League so far.
Bayern Munich's Luca Toni and Real Madrid's Ruud van Nistelrooy are also reported to be on Liverpool's radar.
