Liverpool have made a £9m bid for PSV Eindhoven forward Ola Toivonen, according to reports. According to Sky Sports... Sources in Holland believe that the Premier League Reds have tabled an offer in the region £9million to the current Eredivisie leaders. The 24-year-old Sweden international has caught the eye of Roy Hodgson, as revealed earlier in the week, with the Liverpool manager looking to increase the attacking support for Fernando Torres. However, Toivonen has refused to speculate over his future and it had been rumoured that Liverpool would reduce their interest if the forward was cup-tied in Europe. He played in PSV's Europa League outing against Sibir Novosibirsk on Thursday, but Hodgson is still understood to have gone ahead with his bid.
