Liverpool plot shock move for ex-Everton flop who is now the talk of Italy

Liverpool are on the verge of winning the Premier League title, but Arne Slot does not want to stand still. The Dutchman wants to carry out a radical reshaping of the club’s attack next season after Mo Salah agreed to sign a new two-year contract.

Slot is pushing to reconfigure the attack, and wants Salah to be surrounded by young and energetic forwards who he feels could get more out of the veteran in the coming years.

Liverpool are open to offers for several of their attackers, with Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz getting linked with moves away from the club in the summer.+

The Premier League giants are tracking several forwards across Europe, but they have now set their sights on a player who has a few things to prove on Merseyside.

Can you name these 10 former Premier League players?

Ademola Lookman scored four times in 48 appearances in the Everton shirt and was considered a flop at Goodison Park before he left the club.

The forward has revived his career in Italy with Atalanta and has been heavily linked with a return to the Premier League ahead of the summer window.

According to local Bergamo daily Il Giorno, Liverpool are interested in taking Lookman back to Merseyside as part of their plans to reshape the squad.

The Nigerian can play several positions, and fits the profile of player Slot wants in his team from next season onwards.

Atalanta are prepared to sell, but are expecting massive offers on their table before they can greenlight Lookman’s return to England.

The appointment of ex-Manchester United football director John Murtough as their director of global development is a sign that the Italian club are looking to market their players in the Premier League.
