Bundesliga Striker Linked With Liverpool Now

According to CaughtOffside.com, Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson has put Bayer Leverkusen striker Stefan Kiesling at the top of his list of targets. The website believes Hodgson wants a striker who could be a good foil for Fernando Torres, and could also take the goalscoring burden off the Spanish striker. Kiesling is a tall centre forward at 6ft 3 and scored 21 goals in the Bundesliga for Leverkusen last season, finishing second in the goalscoring charts to Wolfsburg’s much in demand strikerEdin Dzeko. Kiesling is 26 years of age and was part of the Germany squad that got to the semi-finals of theWorld Cup. Although he only made one substitute appearance in South Africa, the German striker is a very capable footballer, and although he is a very good target, he is also very mobile, and likes to come deep and move out wide to use his pace.
At £14million though, a deal would most likely only be done if players departed Anfield this summer.
