Liverpool should now step up their approach for a “world class” star, with a manager Arne Slot a big fan.
The Reds want to recruit a new striker
The Reds won their fourth game in all competitions on Saturday afternoon, but they worked hard to get there, winning 2-1 against Wolverhampton Wanderers, who remain bottom of the table. Premier League ranking, having collected only two points all season.
Ultimately, the three points are the most important thing, but Slot may be a little concerned about the performance, with Federico Chiesa struggling, receiving a Sofascore match rating of just 6.1 and being replaced by Conor Bradley just after the hour mark.
It was a rare start for Chiesa, who has mainly played as a substitute so far this season, with the Italian getting the nod on the right wing, while Florian Wirtz impressed on the opposite side.
Wirtz scored his first goal since arriving from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer, and Slot hopes the German can now get going, after a slow start to life at Anfield.
Although the 22-year-old has had a strong showing on the left, he usually plays in an attacking midfielder role, meaning there could be room to bring in another left winger next month, and there is now a change in the situation. “Liverpool’s pursuit of Antoine Semenyo from AFC Bournemouth”.
That’s according to a report from the Daily Mail, which states that Bournemouth now expect Liverpool to accelerate their move for the winger, who has a £65 million release clause, which becomes active when the transfer window opens.
Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Manchester City have also expressed interest in the striker, and it seemed a move to the Etihad Stadium was the most likely scenario, with advanced discussions being detained.
However, there could be a late turnaround, with the Reds keen to strengthen their attack, amid speculation surrounding the situation. That of Mohamed Salah future at Anfield.
Semenyo could be a ‘world-class’ addition to Slot’s squad
Bournemouth teammate Justin Kluivert waxed lyrical about the Ghanaian earlier this season, saying: “He’s just world class. We’re happy to have him and that’s why I said we have a good team. He’s the one scoring goals for us and we appreciate him. He’s doing an incredible job.”
Kluivert is not the only one to be admiring either, with Slot making it clear he is a big fan of the 25-year-old, hailing him as a “great player” earlier this season, while also praising the Bournemouth star for his pace and mental toughness.
The 32-time Ghana international has certainly deserved to join a top club with his performances this season, scoring nine goals in 17 Premier League appearances, while also providing three assists.
With Salah’s future up in the air, Liverpool could certainly bring in another striker, and it would be a real statement if they were able to beat City thanks to the signing of Semenyo.
