Roy planning £14m raid for Bundesliga striker?
According to CaughtOffside.com, Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson has put Bayer Leverkusen striker Stefan Kießling at the top of his list of targets. The website believes Hodgson wants a striker who could be a good foil for Fernando Torres, and could also take the goalscoring burden off the Spanish striker. Kießling is a tall centre forward at 6ft 3 and scored 21 goals in the Bundesliga for Leverkusen last season, finishing second in the goalscoring charts to Wolfsburg’s much in demand striker Edin Dzeko. Kießling is 26 years of age and was part of the Germany squad that got to the semi-finals of the World Cup. Although he only made one substitute appearance in South Africa, the German striker is a very capable footballer, and although he is a very good target, he is also very mobile, and likes to come deep and move out wide to use his pace. At £14million though, a deal would most likely only be done if players departed Anfield this summer.

Sounds promising. I didn't notice him on his sub appearance. Anyone got an informed opinion on this guy?

i like him a lot..
He shits goals and always seems to be in the right place at the right time.. His skill is very Torres esque. Amazing one minute and loose as hell the next. He has average speed and is pretty tall.. He tends to really want the ball during games and is often involved in all the good things Leverkusen do going forward..
I think he could be an excellent signing to play alongside Torres.

I like him too. I'm a bit surprised he hasn't featured more, but you can't really argue with their results.
