Liverpool Eye Striker Options After Wirtz as Slot Plans Overhaul

Liverpool have already sealed deals for Jeremie Frimpong, Armin Pecsi, and are closing in on a British record move for Florian Wirtz, taking summer spending to around £150m. However, manager Arne Slot is reportedly still seeking a new striker, with Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, and Federico Chiesa potentially leaving Anfield.

Among the options is RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, who has scored 39 goals over the last two campaigns and is also a target for Arsenal. Liverpool have monitored his progress and may benefit from a positive relationship with Leipzig.

Newcastle's Alexander Isak is viewed as a dream signing, but a deal would be tricky given the Magpies' Champions League qualification and likely high fee. Another Bundesliga forward, Hugo Ekitike of Eintracht Frankfurt, has attracted interest from Manchester United and Chelsea, with Frankfurt demanding around £85m.

Victor Osimhen, on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, could be a more affordable option at around £63m. However, Liverpool face competition from Manchester United. Atalanta's Ademola Lookman, with 52 goals in 117 appearances, is also considered, with a potential part-exchange involving Federico Chiesa.
