Liverpool want SENSATIONAL forward to join

Liverpool have got a decision to make over the left wing following Luis Diaz’s transfer to Bayern Munich. There is talent on the books - that much is for sure - with Cody Gakpo a more than adequate option to take over full-time.

But Gakpo will require rotation - and Rio Ngumoha could be ready to step in and up his minutes. The 16-year-old has shone in preseason and is in line for a new contract when he turns 17 next month.

Diogo Jota: Thank you

We could also see Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike fill in on the left when required. There are conversations to be had however about a replacement sourced in the transfer market.

Richard Hughes, the sporting director, has been linked with a move for Rodrygo of Real Madrid but the costs would appear to be spiralling out of control.

Liverpool linked with Fofana

Malick Fofana is another intriguing option.

The 20-year-old would be MUCH cheaper than Rodrygo both in terms of transfer fee and wages. Lyon are reported to be seeking around €50m for the Belgian - but there is rival interest from Everton and other Premier League teams.

Those two players are named as Liverpool targets to succeed Diaz in a new report from Spanish outlet Fichajes. And it goes on to detail the Reds’ interest in ANOTHER young standout.

Antonio Nusa on Liverpool shopping list

It’s Antonio Nusa - the Norway winger who moved to RB Leipzig from Club Brugge last year. Nusa, 20, was followed extensively in Belgium before moving to the Bundesliga side in 2024.

There is a change coming for the Red Bull-owned club - who are set for a financial reset. Xavi Simons, Benjamin Sesko and Castello Lukeba are some of their high-earners destined for a move away this summer.

Nusa could be set to join them with Liverpool back in the hunt for the 15-cap talent.

The player is fielded predominantly from the left side of attack but is also capable of playing from the right.

Nusa has got prodigious dribbling skills - very useful for unlocking space in one-on-one battles. Liverpool have clearly been putting in the groundwork on this deal over several seasons and could opt to move this summer.
