Liverpool are poised for a substantial overhaul during this upcoming transfer window, as Arne Slot looks to make his comeback after Champions League elimination. Even with relatively subdued summer signings under him at first, Liverpool have achieved considerable success this season under Slot and could potentially take out Carabao Cup against Newcastle United this month.
Though Liverpool had an outstanding domestic performance, their European campaign came to a disappointing halt with an unexpected defeat at Paris Saint-Germain. Yet rather than dwelling on their exit from Europe, Liverpool are taking swift and decisive action to strengthen their squad during this summer’s transfer window.
Newcastle Players on Liverpool’s Radar
Among the players Liverpool has shown interest in is Newcastle United’s striker Alexander Isak, along with his teammates, winger Anthony Gordon and young left-back Lewis Hall. Slot is said to be a great admirer of Gordon’s playing style and versatility. Yet, there’s an understanding within the club that acquiring all three players might not be feasible.
On the other hand, Newcastle is looking to secure Isak’s future at the club with a new contract, leaving Liverpool to consider their chances of landing the Swedish forward.
Other Potential Targets for Liverpool
Liverpool have identified Wolves’ Matheus Cunha and Brighton’s Joao Pedro as potential forward options should their pursuit of Isak fail, with Cunha expected to garner interest due to a release clause in his contract; both players made impressive Premier League displays this season; Cunha was linked with Arsenal during January transfer window speculation.
Liverpool’s eagerness to add reinforcements after another stellar season despite European setbacks is evidence that they remain competitive across all arenas. With that goal in mind, Liverpool should find this transfer window an exciting one as they look to build upon past achievements while also rectifying any shortcomings they might encounter.
