Liverpool and target men; target men and Liverpool. In the context of recent Anfield history, they don't exactly go hand-in-hand. Emile Heskey is the only real exception to a rule that has seen Rickie Lambert, Peter Crouch and Christian Benteke struggle on Merseyside.

Nonetheless, Jurgen Klopp clearly needs more options if his Reds side are to launch a genuine Premier League title bid next season. Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane can be unstoppable when firing on all cylinders - but when they're not, Liverpool have lacked an obvious Plan B this term.

IndyKalia and 90min have never been the most reliable of sources, so their combined claim that Liverpool are eyeing up Leeds United front-man Chris Wood must be taken with a pretty large pinch of salt.

Nonetheless, the New Zealand striker, who measures in at 6 foot 3, has been enjoying a fantastic run of form this season, pushing the Whites towards a potential promotion with 24 goals and three assists in 39 Championship outings.

It's also likely Wood will be a much cheaper acquisition than the likes of Benteke. So, should Liverpool launch a shock swoop for the Championship star? Let us know by voting below...
