Arne Slot is seriously considering the possibility of signing a new striker for Liverpool during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Darwin Núñez’s inconsistent performances have raised doubts about the team’s attacking reliability, emphasizing the need for a more consistent goal-scorer.
Victor Osimhen is one of the players under Liverpool’s radar, while Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike has also caught the attention of the club’s scouts with his impressive performances.
However, their main target remains Alexander Isak of Newcastle United.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has praised the Swedish striker, saying, “He’s been exceptional this season. From the start, he’s been scoring regularly, which has clearly boosted his confidence.”
Liverpool’s pursuit of Isak has been given a boost, according to Calcio Mercato, as Newcastle have reportedly approached Fiorentina about a possible move for Moise Kean, suggesting they might be preparing for Isak’s potential departure.
Isak has been Newcastle’s standout player this season, netting 24 goals in 35 matches, cementing his place as their most influential figure.
While Newcastle will likely resist selling their star forward, their interest in Kean indicates they may be bracing for Isak’s exit.
At 25, Isak would represent a significant upgrade for Liverpool, likely slotting straight into Arne Slot’s starting lineup.
His arrival could help address Liverpool’s attacking struggles, even with Mohamed Salah still playing a key role in the team.
Improving the forward line is just one of several priorities for Liverpool this summer, as Slot looks to strengthen multiple areas of the squad ahead of the new season.
