Liverpool linked with Barca ace

Liverpool are set to launch a summer approach for Barcelona striker Bojan Krkic, according to reports from Spain.

Publication Sport comments that despite the Merseyside club adding two strikers in the January transfer window in the form of Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez, they remain on the hunt for attacking talent.

As a result, they have identified the Blaugrana product as a potential addition, and are willing to spend up to €20 million to prise the 20-year-old from the Camp Nou.

It is unlikely that current coach Pep Guardiola will want to part with a player that he sees playing a key role in the long-term future of the Catalan giants.

However, despite signing a new contract until 2015 and being given the number nine jersey, he has failed to impress on his rare first-team outings this season, scoring just three goals in eighteen appearances this season.
