Liverpool are reportedly considering a £15 million January bid for CSKA Moscow hitman and Manchester City conqueror Seydou Doumbia.
The 26-year-old struck twice in the 2-1 win at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday to leave City on the brink of a group-stage exit from the Champions League.
Those heroics have alerted Reds boss Brendan Rodgers, who has earmarked the Ivorian to bolster his striking options this winter, according to The Mirror.
Daniel Sturridge has missed 14 games for Liverpool so far through injury, while Mario Balotelli and Rickie Lambert have both struggled for goals in their first seasons.
Doumbia, whose contract runs until 2018 and has a £30m buyout clause, is also said to be wanted by Italian giants Napoli.
