Andy Carroll has been subject to many speculation after Rodgers has admitted that the England international striker could leave on a season-long loan with a permanent deal at the end of 12-months. Although Liverpool has rejected Newcastle bid earlier for Carroll. AC Milan and West Ham United are still interested on signing the big striker on a season-long loan deal.
News on Zlatan Ibrahimovic almost completing his move to Paris St. Germain from AC Milan has boosted the chance of Carroll moving in the opposition direction.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are ready to rival Chelsea in the hunt for Arsenal winger Theo Walcott.
Walcott has just a year to run on his contract with the Gunners and could follow Robin van Persie's lead by seeking a move away from the Emirates Stadium if the club does not boost his wages to £100,000 per week.
Rodgers will be pondering a £15million move and could use money from any sale of Andy Carroll to pay for the deal.
As a pacy winger with an eye for goal, Walcott would fit seamlessly into Rodgers' preferred playing style.
Target-man Carroll, however, may find opportunities under Rodgers more limited.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is desperate to keep Walcott, especially with Robin van Persie refusing to sign a new deal but some members of Emirates board would be prepared to cash in now.
Will Theo Walcott move to Anfield?
