Merseyside giants Liverpool are in the market for a striker and the club are almost certain to bring in a new forward at the end of the season.
Darwin Nunez is still struggling to turn into a reliable goalscorer and Diogo Jota, who has been preferred over the Uruguayan this season, is not a central striker.
Arne Slot wants to bring in a new striker who could lead the line and it is expected to be one of their transfer priorities for the next summer transfer window.
Jonathan David and Viktor Gyokeres are two strikers the club have been keeping tabs on and they have been heavily linked with an option who is setting fire in Germany this season.
The Reds are in pole position to sign ‘Mohamed Salah’ successor
Omar Marmoush was wanted at Fulham and Nottingham Forest last summer but Eintracht Frankfurt decided against selling him.
It is turning out to be a great decision as the forward has hit top form this season, scoring 12 times and registering nine assists in 14 appearances.
Chelsea and Manchester United are amongst the clubs who are interested in signing him but it has been claimed that Liverpool have the edge in the race.
The Merseyside giants have been keeping tabs on him and recently opened talks with his representatives over a potential move to Anfield.
According to the German daily Bild, Marmoush is keen to move to Liverpool as his dream is to succeed his countryman Mohamed Salah at Anfield.

He has already been termed as the natural successor of Salah in Egypt and some have even tipped him to become better than the Liverpool star in the future.
Chelsea and Manchester United remain interested but the Salah connection has allowed Liverpool to lead the race to sign the forward.
However, a move in the winter window is not likely and any transfer is only expected to take place in the summer.
Liverpool will have to remain vigilant to make sure that they continue to remain in control of the race in the coming months if they want to sign Marmoush.
