Three Strikers Who Liverpool Must Target In The Summer
Liverpool are the current top scorers in the Premier League this season but their problems at the back have cost them a chance to compete for the title with Chelsea. Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi and Roberto Firmino have all played as a striker for the club this season but Klopp is now convinced that he will have to spend on a genuine goal scorer if they are to compete for the PL title next season. Sturridge might be sold while Ings will be back from a lengthy injury, leaving Liverpool a bit light in the attack. They have been linked with some star names recently but who will fit in well at Anfield this summer? Here are three strikers that Liverpool should target this summer.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund):
The Gabon international is right up there with the best in the business this season in Europe and could be up for grabs this summer. He has 33 goals and 5 assists this season in all competitions for club and country and is one of the best strikers at the moment. He has revealed that he is ready for a move to Real Madrid but Liverpool, who reportedly have close to £200m to spend this summer, are expected to try and lure him using the Klopp connection. The German manager has worked with Aubameyang before and this could help Liverpool land a player who can make them genuine title contenders next season.
Moussa Dembele (Celtic):
Another star who has been in sensational form this season is Celtic’s Moussa Dembele. The 20-year old center forward has 32 goals and 8 assists to his name this season and has already helped his side to the domestic league title. He is in sublime form and will cost Liverpool a big chunk of their transfer war chest as Dembele is contracted with the club until 2020. But he is a dynamic player who will give Liverpool the options in their attack and that might help Liverpool take the next step in the domestic league.
Alvaro Morata (Real Madrid):
Another star who is close to an exit this summer is Real Madrid’s Alvaro Morata. Devoid of regular first team football, Morata is frustrated and is looking at clubs who are ready to offer regular playing time and Liverpool could cash in. Morata is a versatile player who can play in a number of positions and his consistency in front of goal is what will attract Jurgen Klopp. He is also wanted by a number of clubs in Europe but Liverpool, who are desperate for a striker, should look to add Morata to their squad for the next season.
