Paper Talk: Liverpool narrow forward search down to two exciting stars; City legend wants Koeman’s job at Barcelona
Liverpool will move for one of two decently-priced attacking targets in January, the pressure is mounting on Daniel Levy at Tottenham, while Monday’s transfer gossip claims a Man City legend is vying to replace Ronald Koeman at Barcelona.
KLOPP HAS TWO ATTACKING TARGETS FOR LIVERPOOL
Liverpool and Bayern Munich are going head to head in the battle to sign Red Bull Salzburg forward Karim Adeyemi.
The 19-year-old forward already has 10 goals to his name this season and is fast becoming one of the world’s most wanted teenagers.
And while the Austrian league isn’t always the strongest of tests, three of those goals have already come in the Champions League.
As such, the Daily Mail claims both Liverpool and Bayern are plotting January approaches. The player also scored on his full debut for the German national side to underline his enormous potential.
Salzburg are reportedly demanding around £17m for the forward – a fee which won’t hurt either Bayern or Liverpool.
However, given his German ties, it’s said an approach from the Bundesliga champions will be hard to resist for Adeyemi.
So with that in mind, the Daily Express claims Liverpool also have another target in mind in the form of Arnaut Danjuma.
The Netherlands forward has a growing reputation in the game, since a move to Villarreal this summer. He has three goals in seven appearances and remains unbeaten in his outings for the Yellow Submarine.
They claim the Reds are watching him closely and are readying an approach for the £21m-rated attacker.
Capable of playing in a central role, Danjuma prefers to play wide in attack and is reportedly a star that Jurgen Klopp enormously admires.
Liverpool are also reportedly watching Porto’s Luis Diaz and Fiorentina’s Dusan Vlahovic. But the pair would cost substantially more than either Danjuma or Adeyemi.
