Liverpool want Swansea City striker Wilfried Bony to replace Luis Suarez after he was sold to Barcelona, according to reports.

Brendan Rodgers has identified the Ivory Coast striker as the man to replace Suarez, according to the Daily Mirror.

In his first season in British football after a £12m move from Eredivisie side Vitesse Arnhem, the 25-year-old scored 25 goals for Swansea - 16 of those came in the Premier League.

Bony, who scored twice for the Ivory Coast in the World Cup, has a £19m release clause and has told friends he is 'desperate' for a move to Anfield, according to the report.

West Ham and Tottenham were previously interested in the striker, but are said to have been put off by the hefty pricer tag.

Bony scored 12 goals from open play last season in the prem, the other 4 were pens.
Never worth £20m IMO. We only payed £22m & £24m for Torres and Suarez.
West Ham and Tottenham put off by the hefty price tag says it all really.

Liverpool are readying an £9m offer for Loic Remy as Brendan Rodgers ups his plans for life after Luis Suarez, according to reports from Goal.

Liverpool have been heavily linked with a move to snap up Wilfried Bony from Swansea as a replacement, but with his value set at £19m, Remy is seen as a good option.

The French striker starred for Newcastle on loan from QPR last season, and has been heavily linked with Arsenal in recent months.

But the Gunners are thought to be dragging their heels with a potential move, and may well pull out altogether after beating Liverpool to Alexis Sanchez.

Rodgers is eager to beat the Londoners to Remy, whose release clause stands at just £9m.

The 27-year-old is also wanted on a permanent basis by Newcastle, but the Merseysiders can offer him a more lucrative contract and Champions League football.

Liverpool may still pursue Bony as well, and are closing in on deals for Lazar Markovic, Dejan Lovren and Divock Origi.

Remy would be much the better option IMO, he'd cost half the price of Bony and he's more mobile too which would suit our style more.

Bony is a dog average striker. If I was going to take one from Swans it would be Michu over him. Remy is by far the better option, although not the answer. AGAIN we're linked with second rate players.

We don't need Remy nor Bony ,2 ok strikers no more no less ,huge mistake bringing this Caliber of talent to our squad. The 75m must be spent wisely.

Unless we sign a stellar name though mate (which we won't) anyone that we bring in is more than likely going to end up as a back up to Sturridge.
Some people think Bony is as good as Sturridge, well Danny has been here nearly two years now and he's out scored every striker in our history up to this point, if people honestly think Bony is going to come here and score goals at a faster rate than the likes of Hunt, Rush, Aldridge, Fowler, Dalglish, Keegan, Owen, Torres and Suarez like Danny has done over the past 2 years then they obviously see something in Bony that I don't. As I say we are not talking 3 months here Danny has done it for 2 years and what's more he's just entering his mid 20's prime so he's going to get even better.
No way a lumbering plodder like Bony takes Danny's place in a dynamic pace based attack like ours. If he comes he'll be the same as Aspas, he'll feature for the first couple of months and then end up on the bench.
Remy would cost half as much as Bony and he'd suit our system more because he can actually run. I'd much rather see £9m sitting on the bench than £20m

Tottenham were put off Ajax's asking price for Suarez too.

So Bony's the next Suarez? Big call that mate

No. Simply saying that copying Spurs' player valuations isn't always the best strategy.

The fact is though that Sturridge isn't good enough to lead our attack Yakka. Granted he knows where the net is but he lacks in far to many other area's. The ball hardly ever sticks with him and his general play is at best VERY average. He never see's the simple early ball.

He does however score goals and lots of them.

Bony however is simply turd. I'd rather have Lambert any day to be honest. Remy I wouldn't sniff at, but if people think he's good enough to replace Suarez then they are mistaken badly. While Remy is a good player, much like Danny he has weaknesses which would be exposed being a first choice player for a club hoping to win a league title or even qualify for the champions league.

Bony's sh*te. If thats the sum total of our ambition in the market you can forget the champions league next season.

Stu I'm sure you told us to forget about champions league this time last year too mate.
