Liverpool transfer news: Reds in race for Premier League striker as Slot gives update on forward move
Share:
Liverpool were quiet in the summer transfer market but it hasn't impacted on their season. Now as we find ourselves in January Arne Slot appears open to business with the Reds in the hunt for every tournament, albeit they are now dealing with some injuries, especially in their backline. The New Year is a difficult time to conduct business, but deals can still be struck.
A lot of the noise surrounding Liverpool is about possible exits. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah both have just months to run of their current deals and moves away are being discussed. Here's the latest news from Anfield. Liverpool are one of several Premier League side courting Antoine Semenyo, with Bournemouth braced for transfer interest in their star forward. The Ghana international has been one of the Cherries top performers this season.
Semenyo is now being targeted for a blockbuster transfer with Liverpool and Newcastle named as two of the teams interested in the former Bristol City man, who is valued at £50m. Any potential deal, be it in January or at the end of the season, could be aided by Bournemouth's interest in Liverpool's Ben Doak. The teenage winger has flourished on loan in the Championship with Middlesbrough and could go in the opposite direction if Semenyo were to end up heading to Anfield.
Slot has backed Jayden Danns, tipping the youngster for a 'very good career' after scoring in Liverpool's 4-0 thrashing of Accrington Stanley. The manager though confessed he's in the dark about whether the striker will head out on loan this January. The 18 year-old made an impact as a substitute.
