Liverpool enter transfer chase for Kalou

Liverpool are set to make a shock move for Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou as they aim to steal him from under the noses of Arsenal and Paris St Germain.

Arsene Wenger was confident of landing the Ivory Coast star, who has found himself surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge this season under new Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas.

But talkSPORT has been told Liverpool have now made an enquiry for the 26-year-old, who is out of contract at the end of the season.

Kenny Dalglish views Kalou as a financially sound alternative to a possible bid for Darren Bent, who could cost in excess of £25m, and likes the fact he can play as either a second striker or out wide.

PSG have also been monitoring the situation and could be an attractive alternative for Kalou with a host of former Chelsea men already at the French giants, including new boss Carlo Ancelotti, Claude Makelele and ex-Blues coach Paul Clement.
