Reports: Liverpool Line-up £10m Move For Jermain Defoe

With two weeks remaining of the January transfer window, the rumours are coming in thick and fast. Today sees the Mirror link Liverpool with a move for Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe.

Liverpool have been short of goals this season, with only 24 Premier League goals to their name so far this term. A worrying stat and highlighted further when you consider struggling pair Bolton and Blackburn have both managed to score 25 and 32 respectively.

Liverpool’s cause hasn’t been helped by the eight-match suspension to star striker Luis Suarez and with Andy Carroll struggling to find his feet at Anfield, the Mirror believes Kenny Dalglish is looking to add a fresh face to his attack this January.

The report claims the man ‘King Kenny’ has identified to solve his striking woes is Tottenham’s Jermain Defoe, with the Reds preparing a £10m offer for the England striker.

Defoe has struggled to hold down a first team place at White Hart Lane this season, despite scoring seven goals in just seven starts in the league.

Tottenham are on the look-out for a new striker themselves, with Harry Redknapp in the stands to watch target Lioc Remy in action for Marseille yesterday.
