“Liverpool Target January Transfer for Premier League Striker to Address Nunez Concerns”
Despite a thrilling 3-3 draw with Newcastle United, which saw Mohamed Salah shine with a goal and assist, Liverpool remains at the top of the Premier League standings. However, concerns over Darwin Nunezโs form are starting to grow within the club. The Uruguayan striker has netted just two goals in 11 league appearances this season, a worrying figure for a team in contention for the title.
In response, Liverpool are eyeing potential signings in the January transfer window. According to journalist Francois Plateau, Brightonโs Joao Pedro is a key target as the club seeks to solve their attacking dilemma.
While Nunezโs work rate and off-the-ball contributions are valued, his lack of goals and assists has left Liverpool in search of additional attacking options. The team needs someone who can relieve the pressure on Salah and strengthen their attacking depth.
This need is exacerbated by Luis Diazโs form dip, Diogo Jotaโs injury absence, and Cody Gakpoโs inconsistency, which has weakened Liverpoolโs offensive output.
Joao Pedro, who has scored against top teams like Manchester United, Arsenal, and Manchester City this season, is being considered as a strong candidate. The Brighton forward has netted four goals in eight appearances and possesses qualities similar to Roberto Firmino, such as linking play and creating opportunitiesโattributes that could work well with Salahโs playing style.
In addition, Inter Milanโs Marcus Thuram is another potential target as Liverpool looks to bolster its attacking options. While the price for Pedro has not been disclosed, Liverpool appears eager to secure a forward who can bring both creativity and finishing prowess to their title challenge.
