West Ham United’s Felipe Anderson is a reported target for Liverpool this summer.
After a season of mainly highs, Liverpool require that extra bite and more depth in their squad as they chase that elusive Premier League crown.
The Daily Mail have claimed that Liverpool are plotting a move for West Ham United winger and Brazil international Felipe Anderson.
It is said that the Merseyside club are keen to bolster their attacking options this summer and West Ham’s record-breaking signing has emerged on their radar.
Last summer, the East London club paid Italian giants Lazio £36 million for the services of Anderson, as reported by BBC Sport.
Considering how much West Ham paid for him, it will be highly likely that they’ll want to make some profit on their superstar signing, especially if he moves to a team in the Champions League.
Therefore, should Liverpool really look to add him to their squad for next season and pay big bucks for him? More than likely he will play second fiddle to the likes of Sadio Mane and Mo Salah.
Added with that, considering how much the Hammers might want for him, Jurgen Klopp and Co. are better off looking for cheaper options or even looking closer to home.
Wales international Harry Wilson has thrived in the second tier of English football this season and he is one game away from guiding Derby County back to the Premier League.
Working under the astute Frank Lampard, the Liverpool loanee has showcased his ability to thrive in a forward-thinking and attack-minded team.
There is no doubt that Klopp needs more legs in his squad if he is to overtake Manchester City’s unstoppable train, but he should perhaps be careful in staying away from talents that might come at inflated prices and with it not come off.
