LIVERPOOL is reportedly about to close a £6.4 million deal on giant attacker Lacina Traore.
The huge six foot, eight inches tall striker, who is originally from the Ivory Coast, currently plays in the Russian Premier League for Kuban Krasnodar.
New Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is apparently on the verge of securing Traore, who will be his first summer signing since taking over at Anfield.
Rodgers is apparently hoping that the move will dramatically alter what he believes is the Merseyside club's weakest current position.
The club have already lost some vital players and there are constant reports linking Craig Bellamy with a return to Wales to play for his hometown Cardiff City.
The team has been left limited with just Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez as striking options after allowing forward Dirk Kuyt to leave on a free this summer.
But the club could be given some respite with Traore stepping onto the scene, as the impressive goalscorer has already racked up 18 goals in his first season, ending the campaign as the third highest scorer in the division.
The news follows the reported £20 million signing of 21-year-old Gaston Ramirez.
