Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes has been tasked with the job of signing a new number 9 who is good enough to lead the line for Arne Slot next season. However, the competition is getting stiffer for the top targets, and now they face resistance from Nottingham Forest.
Slot is clear about wanting a new striker as he lost faith in Darwin Nunez, who is almost certain to move on from Anfield in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Liverpool want to sign Alexander Isak, but Newcastle United are digging their heels in and are almost certain to hold on to the forward as things stand.
The Reds are looking at a few more options who have the experience of playing in the Premier League, but the competition for the signature of one such striker is getting tougher.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
Nottingham Forest barge into the race for Premier League hitman
Nottingham Forest are in with a chance of qualifying for the Champions League, and the club want to show ambition in the market in the transfer window.
Forest want to sign a striker, and according to Football Insider, they have joined the race to sign a striker who is wanted at Liverpool.
The Midlands club are interested in getting their hands on Liam Delap, who is being chased by some of the biggest clubs in England ahead of the summer.
The Ipswich Town striker has a £30m release clause, and Liverpool believe that this is too good an opportunity to sign a proven homegrown forward.
Manchester United, Everton, Tottenham and Chelsea are also interested in a striker who is set to demand massive wages ahead of a lucrative transfer.
However, Forest are also now in the race for Delap, who is expected to make a final decision only after the end of the season.
