Liverpool should consider a move for the Napoli front-man.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is obviously looking to add another centre-forward to his ranks this summer.
Max Kruse calmed yesterday that he rejected an offer from the Reds, when speaking to beIN Sports:
“During the transfer period, I’ve received lots of offers and one of them was Liverpool. But I decided to join Fenerbahce because I believe I will be very happy there. I spoke with a lot of players during that period and I am happy about my decision.”
So, having allegedly missed out on the German, Liverpool now need to look elsewhere.
And an ideal option for them could be Napoli hitman Arkadiusz Milik.
The 25-year-old joined Napoli from Ajax in the summer of 2016, and he has gone on to rack up 34 goals in 87 appearances.
And here’s why he’d be a good fit for the Reds…
Target man
Standing at 6ft 1in tall, Milik is very strong in the air, and he could act as a fantastic focal point for Liverpool’s attacking play.
Different option to Firmino
He would give the Reds an entirely different dimension to their attacking play. Firmino likes to drop deep and link up play, whilst the Polish ace is more comfortable leading the line, playing off the shoulder of the last defender.
This would give Klopp the option of much more variety with regards to his playing style next season.
He’s experienced in playing on the biggest stage
With 48 international caps for Poland to his name, and 236 appearances for some of Europe’s biggest clubs, Milik has already been round the block, in spite of his relatively tender years.
He would add so much to Liverpool, and might just improve even further still under the guidance of Klopp.
Whether Napoli will be open to selling the Poland international remains to be seen, but the Reds certainly have the financial firepower to test their resolve.
