Liverpool monitoring the new Rooney

You can never have enough scoring, and Liverpool appears to be looking for more of it.

The club is monitoring 20-year-old Norwegian striker Marcus Pedersen, according to a report on TribalFootball.com.

Pedersen has been called "Norway's answer to Wayne Rooney" on imscouting.com, which describes him as "a fast striker with a good technique, which enables him to make dangerous penetrative runs with the ball at his feet. The front man also has a hammer of a right foot and is a real threat to goal from outside the box.  Recently, Pedersen has also used his powerful shot to develop a dangerous free kick, another weapon to his armory."

He has four goals in 12 appearances this season for Vitesse.

"I think I have taken the right step in my career: Norway, then Holland and eventually England," he told the website.
