Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is weighing up a double raid on Paris St Germain with a summer move for attacking pair Jeremy Menez and Kevin Gameiro.

The Reds boss is determined to bolster his improving squad at Anfield during the close season and has sent scouts to monitor the PSG duo.

According to reports on the continent it is winger Menez who Rodgers is particularly keen on.

The French international was a first team regular under Carlo Ancelotti for much of the Ligue 1 season but has fallen out of favour in recent weeks.

Former Roma star Menez, 25, has just over one year left to run on his current contract and Rodgers is confident he can bag his man on a cut-price deal.

Striker Gameiro, meanwhile, has seen his chances at PSG limited since the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic last summer and is keen on a move away from Paris.

The 25-year-old said: "I want to play football every time, I am no different to any player.

"It is difficult to sit on the bench but all big clubs in Europe have the same problems, you can't play every game but being involved is good.

"I always wanted to play abroad. At the end of the season, hopefully after we win the title, we can decide about my future."

It is reported that Rodgers believes Gameiro could provide good competition for Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge in the Liverpool attack.
