Liverpool are being linked with Monaco attacker Wissam Ben Yedder.
Liverpool may be in the market for a new striker this summer, with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino needing some support in the final third.
A host of names have been linked with moves to Anfield, from Timo Werner to Victor Osimhen, and even Milot Rashica and Kylian Mbappe as Jurgen Klopp chases a new hitman.
A surprise link emerged earlier this week though, as L’Equipe reported that Liverpool are in the race to sign Monaco forward Wissam Ben Yedder.
It’s claimed that Arsenal and Tottenham are also in the race to sign Ben Yedder, but Liverpool are firmly in the battle as they pursue striking targets.
Ben Yedder, 29, has been superb for Monaco this season having hit 19 goals and nine assists, and Monaco may be forced to sell this summer to raise funds.
The diminutive attacker is quick and skilful, but plays as more of a poacher; something Liverpool don’t really use as things stand with Firmino playing more as a false nine.
Liverpool fans have been taking to Twitter to react to the rumours, with the majority of fans saying ‘no thanks’ to the idea of Ben Yedder joining, preferring RB Leipzig’s Timo Werner.
Others think that Ben Yedder is a good player with real quality in front of goal, but just don’t think that Liverpool will pay big money for a striker approaching 30 this summer…
