# Liverpool weigh up £20m January raid on Brendan Rodgers

**There are not many strikers the Liverpool fans in the Transfer Tavern believe could actually improve their wonderfully fluid frontline under Jurgen Klopp right now.**

While the injury to Philippe Coutinho has obviously rocked the Reds, the presence of both Divock Origi and Daniel Sturridge on the club’s bench is a reassuring sight for our Merseyside locals.

Still, the Kop faithful have been handed further promising attacking reports today, from *[Glasgow Live](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-line-up-20m-january-12251823).*

For they’ve [claimed](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-line-up-20m-january-12251823) Jurgen Klopp is plotting a January move for lethal Celtic sensation Moussa Dembele, following his impressive start to life under Brendan Rodgers.

The Frenchman has notched an impressive 17 times for the Bhoys since joining from Fulham in the summer and is [thought](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3876588/Manchester-United-send-scout-watch-Celtic-hero-Moussa-Dembele-striker-nets-15th-goal-season.html) to have attracted the attentions of Manchester United.

Still, the report [claims](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-line-up-20m-january-12251823) it is Liverpool who are ready to open the bidding, with a [£20m](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-line-up-20m-january-12251823) offer [reportedly](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-line-up-20m-january-12251823) being lined up for when the transfer window opens in January.

£10m up front is [said](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-line-up-20m-january-12251823) to be what the Anfield juggernauts would offer, with the rest [understood](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-line-up-20m-january-12251823) to be coming in through add-ons and the like.

It is [believed](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-line-up-20m-january-12251823) Dembele would be in line for £60k a week with the club, though is [thought](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-line-up-20m-january-12251823) to currently be happy at Parkhead.
