Liverpool set to bid for Bayer Leverkusen's Stefan Kiessling?
The Reds are preparing a move for Bayer Leverkusen forward Stefan Kiessling as they try to find a potential replacement for their outbound striker Luis Suarez according to Sports Direct News.

The talented forward ended last season at the top scorer in the Bundesliga helping his side to secure a Champions League berth, which could deter Liverpool’s chances of luring the German to Anfield.
