Liverpool are expected to try and sign a striker next summer, if not in January, given Darwin Nunez’s struggle to find consistent form under Arne Slot this season.
Slot has managed to get the best out of several Liverpool players this season, which has led to the club sitting at the summit of the Premier League table after seven games.
Ryan Gravenberch and Ibrahima Konate are playing the best football of their career under the new Liverpool manager and Virgil van Dijk has regained some of his old form this season.
However, Nunez has continued to remain an enigma at Liverpool despite his €100m price tag, which continues to hang around his neck like an albatross.
The Uruguayan is no longer a certain starter with Slot often preferring Diogo Jota to start as the central striker over the Uruguay international this season.
There are claims Liverpool are looking at several strikers across Europe and Omar Marmous is someone who has been heavily linked with a move to Anfield.
Liverpool hold an edge in the race to land Egypt’s Mohamed Salah successor
Marmoush rejected a move to Nottingham Forest in the summer and has made a terrific start to the season in Germany, scoring eight goals in six Bundesliga appearances.
According to Sport Bild (via Sport Witness), the forward wants to join a bigger club in the Premier League, which gives Liverpool the edge in the race.
West Ham are also interested but Marmoush’s ambition is putting Liverpool in the lead and the Reds have been closely watching him.
He is seen as the natural successor to Mohamed Salah in the Egyptian national team and has a growing fanbase in his country.
The forward has also been tipped to become better than Salah in the near future, which has intrigued the Liverpool fans.
Salah’s contract situation at Anfield forms a perfect backdrop for Liverpool to pursue the signature of the attacker in the coming months.
Eintracht Frankfurt are hoping to see Marmoush sign a new contract but that is only likely to play a role in making sure that they get a bigger fee for him next summer.
