Roy Hodgson is looking to build on a busy month in the transfer market by bringing West Ham striker Carlton Cole to Liverpool, according to Sky Sports News.
The Reds boss has reportedly made an enquiry over bringing the 26-year-old to Anfield and partnering him with Fernando Torres.
Hammers boss Avram Grant has maintainted a strong stance on keeping his best players, while Cole has committed his future to the club.
But with less than two days until the transfer window shuts, Hodgson will have to step up his interest to complete a deal in time.
