JURGEN KLOPP wants Mauro Icardi to solve his striker problem.
The 22-year-old is now high on the list of Klopp's priorities for January according to reports in Italy.
The German, who replaced Brendan Rodgers in October, has had a make-shift forward line at his disposal since taking over.
Both Daniel Sturridge and Christian Benteke were injured when he came in and Danny Ings has since been ruled out for most of the season.
He started Divock Origi in his first game against Tottenham, but the 20-year-old is yet to find the net for Liverpool.
Sturridge is set to return to action this week after declaring himself fit while Benteke has also struggled with injury and form at Anfield.
And Calcio Mercato, an Italian website, report that Icardi is the man Klopp wants to add to his fire power.

Icardi is reportedly valued at just under £25million and has scored three goals in 10 games for Inter Milan so far this season.
He was linked with a move to Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchestdr United in the summer and in February he spoke of his desire to play in the Premier League, naming Liverpool as one of the clubs he'd like to join.
"If the ones [rumours] about United, Chelsea and Liverpool were real, I would be honoured, because they are big clubs, but I'm already in a great team where I can win something important," he said.
