Rumour Mill: Liverpool planning to swoop on Chelsea's free agent

Liverpool will be going all out on signing at least one striker this summer. Although, Kenny Dalglish's transfer fund will be reduced after the Reds has failed to qualify for the Champions League next season, signing an experienced striker on a free transfer would be a bargain buy for Liverpool this summer.
Liverpool has lined up Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou as Dalglish looks to beef up his attacking options. The Ivory Coast international will be out of contract at the end of the season and is yet to put pen to paper on a new deal and the lack of regular first team football may well lead the former Feyenoord man to consider an offer from the Merseyside club.
The 26-year-old has struggled to secure a run of games ever since he arrived at Stamford Bridge in May 2006 and has consistently played second fiddle to a number of striking team-mates in that period and may now be ready to leave the West London side in search of first team football.
Luis Suarez is currently Liverpool's most effective attacking weapon and though England international Andy Carroll has improved of late there is seemingly still a need to bring in back-up given that Dalglish's side have managed just 40 goals in 33 Premier League matches.
Dalglish will feel that the chance to nab a player of Kalou's talent for nothing is worth looking into and though there is reported interest from several Ligue 1 sides the Chelsea man may be tempted to remain in the Premier League.
