The January transfer window could be an exciting one to be a Kopite. The Reds have already confirmed the impending arrival of Takumi Minamino from RB Salzburg and there has been a million and one other players linked with a move to Anfield. According to Sky Sports, Liverpool are one of a number of teams tracking Victor Osimhen of Lille.
20-year-old Osimhen plays as a striker for the French side. He is known as a lethal finisher that is dominant in the air, although he is still inexperienced and that shows in his hold up play.
FIFA20 enthusiasts may recognise him as the demonic forward that was recently named the game’s French Ligue 1 player of the month. Have you tried defending against that card? It’s a nightmare.
He has netted nine goals in 15 league appearances this season, bagging two in five in the Champions League. According to Football365, Lille are aware of parties interested in a deal of around €70m.
What RTK has to say
Liverpool spending €70m on Victor Osimhen seems unlikely. The Reds have only spent big on established names in recent seasons. We can’t see the 20-year-old fetching a fee between Fabinho and Allison’s.
There have been a lot of rumours surrounding the Reds forward line of late. The papers are convinced that Liverpool will look to bring in another striker in the near future.
If Liverpool were to bring in another striker then Victor Osimhen fits the bill until it comes to the finances involved. We would be looking for a young forward but not an expensive one.
