LFC boss pondering move for Crouch

Roy Hodgson is pondering a move for former Liverpool striker Peter Crouch.

The Reds manager is eager to add a target man to his squad and is believed to view Crouch as the ideal candidate.

Hodgson, who has spoken of his desire to bring experienced English players to Liverpool, is a confirmed admirer of the England striker having failed in a bid to bring him to Craven Cottage as Fulham manager last summer.

It is believed the Tottenham Hotspur player would welcome a return to Anfield, where he scored 40 goals in three successful seasons, despite Spurs having secured Champions League football for the next campaign.

The 29-year-old, who was sold to Portsmouth for £11m in 2008 after slipping down the pecking order following the arrivals of Fernando Torres and Andriy Voronin, would be available for around £6m.
