Liverpool are in the market for a number 9, with the club prioritising the arrival of a proven goalscorer in the upcoming summer transfer window. Several forwards are being assessed ahead of the end of the season, but one such target could end up moving to North London.
Alexander Isak is the priority target for Liverpool this summer, but there is a growing belief that pricing him out of Newcastle United this summer would be close to impossible.
Liverpool will not offer silly money for the Swede, and the club are now looking at alternative targets, including a few more forwards who have proved themselves in the Premier League.
However, Tottenham are also in the market for a striker despite spending big money on Dominic Solanke last year, and are eyeing turning the head of a top Reds target.

Tottenham barge into the race for a top Premier League striker
Tottenham could salvage their campaign by winning the Europa League and gaining a backdoor entry into next season’s Champions League.
The north London club want to sign a forward in the summer to bolster their attacking options, and according to GiveMeSport, they have their eyes on a Liverpool target.
Liam Delap is set to leave Ipswich Town and has offers from several Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, who want to sign the homegrown striker for a reasonable fee of £30m.
He is expected to demand hefty wages, but the Reds see this as too good an opportunity to sign a Premier League-proven striker for a small fee.
However, Tottenham have barged into the race and are looking to convince the forward to opt for a move to north London over Merseyside this summer.
They are aware of the competition for his signature, but feel they owe themselves at least a good attempt to turn Delap’s head, given his record in the Premier League this season.
