Liverpool ready to splash out for Roma striker Vucinic

Liverpool are preparing a major January offer for AS Roma striker Mirko Vucinic.

Itasportpress.it says Liverpool are considering a €25m bid and could tempt Roma who are cash-strapped and awaiting a change of ownership.

Vucinic has confessed an ambition to play in England this season - though favours a move to Chelsea.

Reds boss Roy Hodgson admires the striker and sees him as the perfect foil for Fernando Torres.
