Arne Slot is seriously weighing the option of bringing in a new striker to Liverpool during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Darwin Núñez’s inconsistent performances have raised concerns about Liverpool’s attacking reliability, highlighting the need for a more dependable goal-scorer.
Victor Osimhen is among the names being monitored by the club, while Eintracht Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitike has also caught the attention of Liverpool’s scouting team with his promising displays.
However, their top priority remains Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has been full of praise for the Swedish striker, stating:
“He’s been outstanding this year. From day one, he’s consistently found the net, and that’s clearly boosted his confidence.”
Liverpool have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Isak, as reported by Calcio Mercato. Newcastle have reportedly approached Fiorentina over a possible deal for Moise Kean — a move that suggests the Magpies may be preparing for Isak’s potential departure.
Isak, who has been Newcastle’s standout performer this season, has scored 24 goals in 35 appearances, solidifying his status as their most influential player.
While Newcastle will likely resist any offers for their star forward, their interest in Kean hints at an awareness that Isak’s exit could be imminent.
The 25-year-old would be a significant upgrade for Liverpool and would likely slot straight into Arne Slot’s starting XI.
His arrival could help resolve the Reds’ struggles in front of goal, even with Mohamed Salah still a major presence in attack.
Strengthening the forward line is just one of several priorities for Liverpool this summer, as Slot aims to reinforce multiple areas of the squad head of the new season.
