Liverpool have made an enquiry to Manchester City for Emmanuel Adebayor, skysports.com understands.
The Togolese star is one of a number of City players who have been linked with a move this January.
The former Arsenal striker is far from being first choice under Roberto Mancini and the imminent arrival of Edin Dzeko will push him further down the pecking order.
Now a host of clubs are making contact with City to register their interest in taking the 26-year-old.
Loan
And skysports.com understands that Liverpool are the latest club to express an interest.
However, they are not the only club looking at Adebayor, with Tottenham, West Ham and even Real Madrid linked with a move.
Liverpool would currently only be in the market to take Adebayor on loan given his wages and possible fee, with City unlikely to accept a cut-price deal for a player they paid over £25million for just 18 months ago.
But should City allow him to move on loan, then the Anfield club would hope to be in pole position to land him.
