As Liverpool prepare to sell Raheem Sterling to Manchester City for £49 million, Reds fans have made their views known as to which forward the club should sign to replace the winger - and there's a clear winner.
In a 90min fan poll conducted on Monday, more than 50 per cent of Liverpool fans asked said they wanted Brendan Rodgers to re-invest the transfer fee gained by the sale of Sterling in Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette.
In fact, 55 per cent of the 60,748 respondents chose the France international - who has also been linked with Arsenal - while Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain came in second place with 22 per cent of the vote.
Behind the Argentine was Aston Villa's Christian Benteke with 18 per cent while Zenit St Petersburg's Venezuelan centre-forward, Salomon Rondon, came last with 5 per cent of the vote.
Lacazette has found himself linked with a move away from French giants Lyon in recent months after the 24-year-old finished the 2014-15 campaign as Ligue 1's top scorer with 27 goals in 33 appearances.
The striker was heavily linked with a move to Liverpool earlier in the year, but seemingly quashed a transfer to Anfield when he admitted he would only leave Lyon for a club playing in the Champions League.
Les Gones coach Hubert Fournier revealed on Friday the 24-year-old had not expressed a desire to depart the club this summer, although he conceded the striker could still leave France.
But Lacazette then sent the rumour mill into overdrive two days later when he 'favourited' a tweet that suggested Arsenal could make a move for his services before later deleting it.
