Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd rocked as Liverpool line up shock January bid

Liverpool want Gonzalo Higuain in January

LIVERPOOL have set their sights on Napoli's Gonzalo Higuain.

 

That is according to Spanish publication Fichajes, who claim the Reds hoping to sign the £33million-rated striker when the transfer window reopens in January.

The 27-year-old was heavily linked with a move to the Premier League in the summer, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United all showing an interest.

 

But the trio were put-off by his £74million release clause, a price Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis refused to negotiate on.

And now Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to finally bring Higuain to England as he looks to revitalise his attacking line.

 

Gonzalo Higuain has bagged five goals in six Serie A outings this term

The Anfield outfit currently sit 10th in the Premier League standings and have scored just seven goal in as many outings.

Higuain has been in fine form in Italy this season, finding the back of the net five times in six Serie A appearances.
