£60m Premier League striker set for a shock transfer to Liverpool in a summer twist

Liverpool are in the market for a striker this summer and the club are looking at several forwards ahead of the transfer window. The club are keen to sign someone Premier League-proven, and it seems one such target is set to leave his current club.

Darwin Nunez has not started a Premier League game since March, and he is almost certain to leave Liverpool in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes’ priority is to sign a top-class striker, and Arne Slot is certain that he needs a more reliable goalscorer next season.

Alexander Isak is the top target, but another Premier League striker has now emerged as a solid option for Liverpool for the upcoming summer transfer window.

Can you name the team Liverpool signed these players from?

Premier League hitman set for a summer switch

Ollie Watkins has been in terrific form this season at Aston Villa, scoring 16 times and registering 13 assists in all competitions.

However, his future at Villa is under the scanner, and Liverpool are interested in getting their hands on the forward in the upcoming summer transfer window.

According to Football Insider, Villa are open to selling the 29-year-old striker to balance their books and remain within the Premier League PSR guidelines.

The Midlands club are prepared to sell him for a fee anywhere in the £50m and £60m range in the summer.

A move to Liverpool would appeal to Watkins, who wants to play for a club that will compete for all major trophies in the coming seasons.

Liverpool also see him as a chance to sign a Premier League-proven striker who will start scoring goals as soon as he joins the club.

Slot wants a goalscorer who will make an instant impact, and Watkins is exactly the kind of forward who will excel in the red of Liverpool.
