Liverpool are actively exploring options to bolster their attacking lineup as Darwin Nunez’s future at Anfield remains uncertain.
Slot’s New Number 9? Liverpool Plot Moves for Isak and Ekitike
Renowned journalist David Ornstein has highlighted two prominent names on the Reds’ radar: Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike.
Alexander Isak, the Swedish international currently at Newcastle United, has caught Liverpool’s attention. However, Newcastle are reportedly reluctant to part ways with their star striker, valuing him at around £150 million.
Ornstein notes that Liverpool would only consider pursuing Isak if there’s a genuine opportunity, avoiding any “wild goose chase” scenarios.
On the other hand, Hugo Ekitike of Eintracht Frankfurt presents a more attainable target. The 22-year-old French forward has impressed in the Bundesliga, netting 17 goals and providing six assists this season.
Liverpool have reportedly initiated talks regarding Ekitike, who is valued at approximately £66 million.
However, they face competition from clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal, who are also keen on securing his services.
As Liverpool strategize for the upcoming season, the acquisition of a reliable goal scorer remains a top priority.
Whether they opt for the proven Premier League experience of Isak or the burgeoning talent of Ekitike, the Reds are poised to make significant moves in the transfer market.
