Liverpool now have GOLDEN chance to sign Victor Osimhen
Liverpool want to evolve their attack this summer.
The Reds may have scored the most goals in the Premier League under Arne Slot, but they lacked a clinical no.9. Darwin Nunez has simply not lived up to the task.

Diogo Jota has also been inconsistent to be considered a regular option in the attack.
Out of the duo, Nunez looks likely to depart. His chapter at Anfield looks increasingly likely to end with Liverpool ready to move on and sell him this summer.
We revealed exclusively that Nunez was expected to be among a number of departures in an era defining overhaul. This is still definitely the case.
Anfield Watch understands that the Uruguayan forward has a number of options and at this moment in time Liverpool are exploring what would be the best deal for them.

As we exclusively revealed Victor Osimhen is well-liked by Liverpool and he is an option to replace Nunez. Michael Edwards and his recruitment team have been admirers in the Nigerian forward for a long time.
However, it seemed like Osimhen had agreed to join Al Hilal for a long time. It seemed like he was destined to join the Saudi side until Fabrizio Romano said that the deal was off on Thursday night.
Romano claimed that Osimhen could not strike an agreement with Al Hilal and that Galatasaray have not entered the race to sign the 26-year-old.
But this should be music for the ears of Liverpool as well.
This gives the Reds a golden chance to make a swoop for Osimhen yet again.
Liverpool want a no.9. They have liked Osimhen for many years. Anfield Watch understands they were there for him when he went to Napoli but the Italian club did everything to prevent him from joining the Reds.
The club's recruitment team likes him as well. He'd be a perfect fit, with his ability to press out of possession and also finish in front of goal.
One of the most prolific forwards in European football for the last few years, Osimhen is at the prime of his powers. Liverpool would be smart to make a move for him.
Galatasaray might be an appealing destination but surely Osimhen has ambitions of playing in the Premier League.
Yes, he might not be able to earn as much as he would have done at Al Hilal but Liverpool could surely compete with the wages on offer at the Turkish club.

And there is no question which proposition is more appealing. This is a golden chance for Liverpool and Hughes must grab it with both hands.
