Liverpool target proves he is ready for Premier League move

Despite having spent over £650 million on overhauling the squad in the past two years, Liverpool continue to be linked with attacking stars.

The Reds' forward line are beginning to find their feet under Andoni Iraola, with Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Bradley Barcola all looking sharper in the past month.

This hasn't stopped a number of Europe's top forwards being linked with potential Merseyside moves however, and one of the most exciting stars mentioned is Antonio Nusa.

The 21-year-old is capable of playing on either wing and would be a valuable addition to Iraola's squad, and he has just proven how ready he is to join Liverpool.

Antonio Nusa is ready for Liverpool

Despite his young age, Nusa is proving himself to be one of the best forwards in Europe this season having scored four and provided seven assists in his nine Bundesliga appearances for RB Leipzig.

This electric form has led to links to some of England's top clubs including Arsenal, Aston Villa and of course Liverpool.

On Saturday night the Norway international showed every club watching his quality, scoring an impressive goal from the edge of the area to put his country 1-0 up against Wales.

As Liverpool's recruitment team start preparing their winter business, Nusa's continued excellence will give Julian Ward plenty to think about.

With Cody Gakpo, Rio Ngumoha, Bradley Barcola, Federico Chiesa and Victor Munoz all at the club it seems unlikely that Nusa will be added unless one of Iraola's current wide options departs, but the Norwegian forward will likely remain high on Liverpool's shortlist regardless of whether he moves in the winter.

RB Leipzig will not be an easy side to negotiate with, as seen by their deal to sell Yan Diomande to Real Madrid for £120 million in the summer, and it wouldn't be a complete surprise to see the German outfit demand a similar fee for Nusa this winter.

Come the summer their may be a little more leeway on price, but interest will be higher and if Liverpool are serious about securing Nusa, then a January move could be their best bet.
