After a relatively quiet January window on Merseyside, it seems like Liverpool are planning ahead for the summer window.

The Reds are expected to sign a left-sided defender this summer, with Liverpool reportedly monitoring David Hancko.

Arne Slot also seems keen on bolstering his midfield ranks as the Reds eye up a move for Hugo Larsson and Sunderland’s Chris Rigg also attracting interest from Liverpool.

The Premier League leaders could also do with some attacking reinforcements, with the likes of Darwin Nunez expected to leave Anfield.

With that being said, it seems like Liverpool may have just found their new attacking target ahead of the summer.

Liverpool planning summer move for Mohamed-Ali Cho

With Luis Diaz’s Liverpool future in doubt and Federico Chiesa disappointing at Anfield, FSG are now seemingly putting plans to find their replacements.

That is according to TeamTalk, who claim the Reds are plotting a summer move for OGC Nice forward Mohamed-Ali Cho.

Liverpool are said to be keen on the 21-year-old, following the youngster’s impressive performances in Ligue 1 this season.

The young Frenchman has contributed to eight goals so far this campaign, also catching the eye in the Europa League despite OGC Nice crashing out in the League phase.

Cho, who can play across the frontline, could be a clever pickup for the Reds with his attacking versatility potentially suiting Slot’s forward line.

Everton’s decision to let Cho leave was the ‘biggest mistake’

If Liverpool were to secure the signing of Cho, he wouldn’t have much problem familiarising himself with Merseyside having previously played for Everton’s academy.

The French forward joined the Toffees youth ranks in 2015 from PSG and would remain at Goodison Park up until 2020, eventually joining Angers.

Cho’s departure from Merseyside was seen as a huge failure by Toffees, with TeamTalk’s report revealing that people within Everton see it as one of their ‘biggest mistakes in recent years’.

Everton would have loved to have a talented forward like Cho in their ranks, and it will come as a hammer blow to them if Liverpool are to sign him this summer.
