Kenwyne Jones is expected at Liverpool on Monday
Liverpool will try to solve their striker crisis by signing Kenwyne Jones on loan on Monday.
The
Sunderland forward is due at Anfield for a medical as manager Rafa Benitez desperately attempts to strengthen his squad for the visit of top-four contenders
Tottenham on Wednesday.
Benitez sees the 25-year-old Trinidad & Tobago star as ideal cover for his injured superstar Fernando Torres. The Spain striker had knee surgery in Barcelona this weekend but is not expected to be fit for at least six weeks.
A swap deal with Liverpool for unhappy winger Ryan Babel had been mooted but instead Jones will move to Anfield on loan until the end of the season.
Sunderland have already turned down a £9million bid from Birmingham for the 6ft 1in Jones, who has scored six Barclays Premier League goals this season. Birmingham boss Alex McLeish remains keen to sign Jones and Babel.
Former Southampton target man Jones earns about £50,000 a week — wages City are able to match following Carson Yeung’s takeover — but the player is not interested in switching to St Andrew’s.
Fined: Ryan Babel (left) has grown frustrated at Liverpool and vented his anger through his Twitter feed this weekend
Holland star Babel was yesterday told by Benitez he would be fined for his Twitter outburst complaining about being left out of the squad for Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Stoke.
As an indication of his deteriorating relationship with Benitez, who called him ‘unprofessional’, Babel stormed away from Liverpool’s Melwood training ground after a stern rebuke from his manager.
The player headed home but was contacted half-an-hour later with instructions to rejoin his team-mates for their warming down session.

Je ne sais pas ce que ça vaut, mais si le prend en prêt, on peut espérer un ailier gauche en échange de Babel.
Après un match comme ça, ça vaut des points!
!! 
et rebattissons une équipe de combattant avec du sang neuf
