Mario Gomez January Target For Liverpool

Liverpool will swoop for Bayern
Munich's out of favour striker
Mario Gomez in the January
transfer window, according to
News of the World.
Reds manager Roy Hodgson was
unsuccessful in his bid to land a
big-name striker as cover for
Fernando Torres during the
summer transfer window,
reportedly missing out on four
attacking targets.
Bayern ’s Gomez was heading to
Anfield on loan with a view to a
potential £20m permanent deal
in the summer but the deal fell
through after the Bavarian
giant's chief executive Karl-Heinz
Rummenigge pulled the plug on
the deal at the last minute.
As a result, Hodgson had less
than 48 hours to try and snap up
Carlton Cole, Bobby Zamora or
Kevin Doyle. All bids were
rebuffed by the players
respective clubs though.
Liverpool will now wait until the
New Year to secure Gomez, using
Hodgson's unspent money from
the summer tranfer kitty to
conclude a deal.
