And Bournemouth veteran Defoe, 35, and 20-year-old Liverpool ace Solanke are being targeted for loan deals.

Defoe has endured a frustrating campaign in Bournemouth - starting just 13 games due to his injury woes.

He is happy with the Cherries but Gerrard, 37, could offer his former international team-mate a chance to prolong his career north of the border.

Solanke, meanwhile, has struggled for game time behind the red-hot trio of Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.
