Liverpool have been linked with a move for Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain, according to the Express.
The Argentina international only moved to Serie A a year ago, but his future is in doubt after Rafael Benitez’s side’s slow start to the season.
With two defeats from their opening three games, Benitez is also under pressure, with Roberto Mancini in line to replace him should the former Liverpool boss be given his marching orders.
In fifty-three appearances in all competitions, Higuain has scored twenty-seven goals since signing from Real Madrid, where he also averaged almost a goal every two games over seven seasons.
Despite bringing in Mario Balotelli and Rickie Lambert in the summer, Reds boss Rodgers is keen to bring in extra fire power having lost last season’s top scorer Luis Suarez to Barcelona.
The Merseyside edged past Middlesbrough in a dramatic penalty-shoot out in their Capital One Cup third round tie yesterday evening, and can be backed at 6/1 to win the competition.
