Liverpool tempted to end Max Gradel’s French adventure
LIVERPOOL could be tempted to end Max Gradel’s French adventure when the transfer window opens in January.
Gradel has won plaudits since his move to Ligue 1 outfit Saint-Etienne in August 2011, but is not as well known now to English fans.
The Reds already have a pacy winger in their ranks in Raheem Sterling, who has shone in the Premier League, but Brendan Rodgers wants to make the club a more effective offensive unit.

Gradel is being monitored by Liverpool scouts and a move for the youngster seems imminent.
Gradel, formerly of Leicester City and Leeds United has proved to be a bit of a bargain for the Ligue 1 outfit.
He has found the back of the net nine times in 29 appearances.
Liverpool will have to be wary of Ukrainian giants Shakhtar Donetsk, who are also believed to be interested in tabling a bid.
