Hodgson is keen to boost his side’s firepower before tomorrow’s deadline but insists PSV’s Swedish forward Ola Toivonen, who has been linked with Liverpool, isn’t in the frame.
“We’d like another striker, we’ve said that all along and there’s no point me denying it,” he added.
“But we still haven’t found the right man and time is running out for us.
“He (Toivonen) is a good player but he’s not the profile I’m looking for.”
Hodgson also shrugged off reports linking Lucas with a move away from Anfield.
“If someone offers us £20million for Lucas and he wants to go we will consider it,” he said. “But it’s a bit late in the day . I’m not looking to get rid of players .
“I’d quite happily add one as we have room in our squad. I’m not looking to move anyone else out because anybody who moves now is unlikely to be replaced because the window is closing.”
