Bola News today reports that Liverpool have earmarked a move for Real Mallorca forward Tomer Hemed as a potential striker target.
Brendan Rodgers seems destined to bring in a striker in the January transfer window as he seeks to beef up an attacking line that currently has to heavily rely on Uruguayan Luis Suarez, even more so since youngster Fabio Borini suffered a broken foot injury.
The 25 year old striker left Maccabi Haifa to try his luck in La Liga and after a steady first season at Mallorca, during which he netted ten goals in 35 appearances, the powerfully built striker has started the current campaign with a bang netting six goals in eight matches, placing him just below the likes of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Radamel Falcao in the top scorer rankings.
Hemed has also displayed similarly deadly form for his national team, scoring five goals in his last two Euro 2012 qualifying appearances.
Though the Israeli isn’t exactly a household name he may be the type of in-form and inexpensive options Rodgers could consider given that the Anfield boss doesn’t appear to be enjoying the same level of transfer funding as his predecessor Kenny Dalglish.

LTW. Is this information kosher?

Should we passover or *can't think of another suitable pun* is he worth a punt?
 
I was going to post this earlier this week ...

Hemed is a strong striker, who's good in the air and comfortable with the ball at his feet. He was very good for Maccabi Haifa, before he moved to Mallorca, where he's scoring at a decent rate. His main weakness is speed - he's not very quick. He's a decent player, and if we only have 5 million pounds, it may be a good option. He's never going to be 'the' guy though (a lead the line striker), but he's a decent complimentary striker imo.

A few of his goals this year (would put more but my computer is on the verge of getting thrown out of the window due to being so fucking slow):

As a David Villa style magician is out of our reach rigt now (although arguably we have one in Suarez), I want a Samuel Etoo type player. Someone who knows how to get in behind defences and LOVES scoring goals.

Doesn't have to be as classy as Etoo but feel we could do with that kind of player right now. This guy not much.
 
LTW, wouldn't you say that Hemed is a poor man's Andy Carroll? I've never thought of him as a great striker - a decent one nothing more, and I'd like to see better players playing for us.
Also, if I remember correctly a considerable percentage of his Mallorca goals came from the spot.

Nah - he's far more comfortable with both feet and moving the ball on the ground. I don't know how to check if most of his goals are PKs, but going by memory, none of his 6 this year have been penos ... No one's said he's 'great,' but if we don't have money for great strikers. Time will tell what we have to spend, but if it's only 5 million, then we're going to struggle to get what we 'want' ...

No one really. Anyone else got any ideas?

I'd look at that Aubameyang lad at St. Etienne. Could turn to be a very interesting player - only seen him play twice this season, but have been really impressed. He's Eto'o-ish to a degree. 16 goals in Ligue 1 last season. 5 goals already this season.

There isn't much on Youtube, but here's a poor quality clip:

 
Yep, he looks interesting. Loads of pace and scores goals. If we have the money I'd target Remy aswell.
