Liverpool have been linked with a late swoop for Lazio forward Mauro Zarate.
Reds boss Kenny Dalglish will need to add another striker to his squad if, as expected, Frenchman David N’Gog is sold to Bolton Wanderers.
And talk from Italian source Sportitalia has linked the English Premier League giants with Lazio’s Argentine goal-getter Mauro Zarate.
The 24-year-old, who has played in England before with Birmingham City, has been mooted to be a target for Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger over the past two weeks, but the Gunners have yet to do a deal with Lazio.
Lazio’s Serie A rivals Inter are also in the race, although their interest has cooled since Diego Forlan was captured from Atletico Madrid.
Liverpool are believed to want to take Zarate on a season-long loan from Lazio with the option to make his move a permanent one at the end of the campaign.
Lazio however would rather sell Zarate outright if he is to leave the Stadio Olimpico.
