Liverpool have emerged as surprise contenders to sign Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor.
The 28-year-old former Togo international is currently on a season-long loan at Tottenham Hotspur.
However, his wage demands are believed to be a stumbling block for a permanent move to White Hart Lane.
Reds boss Kenny Dalglish could now make a shock move for Adebayor at the end of the season as he looks to boost his attacking options, according to Caughtoffside.com.
The former Arsenal forward has scored 12 goals in all competitions during the current campaign.
