Liverpool line-up £200m mega move to sign TWO forwards

Liverpool are making a mega power move to sign two forwards in what could be an incredible £200m investment.

The club's sporting director Richard Hughes has already splashed the cash this summer, signing Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong for just under £200m.

Yet, Liverpool are not finished with their business and could be spending even more than that in the coming weeks ahead.

One of the biggest priorities for the Reds at the moment is bolstering their forward options. This has seen Liverpool reach out to a number of potential targets.

Undoubtedly though the players who are currently at the top of the list of targets for Liverpool are Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike.

The former is the absolute dream target for Liverpool. Isak has always been on the club's radar, ever since he emerged at AIK almost a decade ago.

But while the Reds would love to lure him to Anfield, Newcastle will put up a huge resistance. They do not want to sell their star player and are looking to strengthen their ranks as well.

This has put up an interesting possibility with the Magpies approaching Ekitike as a potential target.

Liverpool admire Ekitike hugely. They have been monitoring his progress since he broke through the ranks at Reims and have always been admirers of the Frenchman.

In particular the club's data team see a lot of potential in Ekitike and that's why Liverpool have also made a move to sign him from Eintracht Frankfurt.

This is not an impromptu move either. As Anfield Watch exclusively revealed Liverpool first held a meeting with Ekitike's agent back in April.

They have held multiple meetings with Ekitike ever since then and they have made it clear he is someone who they want to sign.

So far a lot of the conversation has centred around one or the other signing for Liverpool. Isak being the first choice and Ekitike being the second choice.

However, this might not be the case.

According to BILD in Germany Liverpool do not want just one or the other. They want both. The site claims that Liverpool are considering signing Ekitike and Isak in what could be a mega package worth £200m, and that's why they have made contact to sign not just Isak but Ekitike as well.

It's fair to say that would be an extraordinary move if Liverpool can pull it off. Ekitike and Isak in the same team would be incredible. They are two of the best young forwards in European football and the prospect of them competing for a spot in a team that already includes Wirtz, Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo is mouthwatering.

Of course it's one thing wanting to sign both players and making a move to sign both, it's another pulling it off.
