Liverpool closing in on new striker

Liverpool are on the verge of signing a new striker, according to legendary goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar.

Manager Kenny Dalglish is believed to be ready to dip into the transfer market to boost his side's attacking threat and Grobbelaar is sure a deal will happen soon.

"There are two strikers [Liverpool are interested in]," Grobbelaar told talkSPORT. "I know that [Kenny Dalglish] is looking at a South American striker who is playing in Holland and I know that he's quite close in getting another striker.

"I'm not going to be the one to actually tell you who, but I'm sure that the striker will be arriving soon."

According to the Daily Mirror, Dalglish is ready to offer £10 million for Tottenham's Jermain Defoe, although Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has said recently that he does not want to let the striker depart. Liverpool have also been linked with Rangers striker Nikica Jelavic, while Crystal Palace manager Dougie Freedman has warned the Reds off making an approach for Wilfried Zaha.
