Liverpool are in the market for a striker, and bringing in a top number 9 is the priority for the club. Sporting director Richard Hughes is under pressure to deliver a consistent goalscorer to Arne Slot, who wants a revamped attack at his disposal next season.
Darwin Nunez. who has not started a league game since March, is almost certain to leave Anfield at the end of the season, with Slot losing faith in the Uruguayan.

The Merseyside giants have been keeping tabs on several strikers, and it has been claimed that the club are now pushing to sign a top young forward in the upcoming transfer window.

Liverpool are keen to bring in someone experienced to replace Nunez, but they are not shying away from signing a young forward as well.
Benjamin Sekso is considered the best young striker in European football and has scored 21 goals in all competitions this season.
According to CaughtOffSide, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal are preparing to table offers for the RB Leipzig striker in the upcoming transfer window.

RB Leipzig are looking to earn a fee in the region of £75m, but Liverpool are looking to negotiate the figure down to around the £60m mark this summer.
The Merseyside giants are pushing to get a deal over the line for the signature of the striker in the upcoming transfer window.
