Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah is approaching veteran status, and the departure of Uruguayan forward Darwin Nunez is also under a cloud. They are also struggling to renew the contract of Colombian international Luis Diaz, while Italian international Federico Chiesa is yet to reach his full potential.
Liverpool are looking to strengthen and rejuvenate their forward line-up for next season, and Ghana international Antoine Semenyo, who plays for Bournemouth, has been mentioned as one of their targets amid reports that they are looking at strikers who have proven themselves around the world.
According to The Northern Echo, Liverpool are planning to include Scotland international Ben Doak, currently on loan at Middlesbrough, as a potential swap in order to move forward with the player’s signing.
The 19-year-old Scottish winger has been gaining a reputation in the Championship, with Ipswich Town and Crystal Palace said to have made offers for him. His departure on loan has been uncertain, and the latest reports have added to that uncertainty.
The 25-year-old London winger has scored six goals and assisted three in 21 games this season and has been a mainstay of a club that has been in contention for the Premier League places. His powerful dribbling and goal-scoring vigour are attractive, and he also benefits from being able to play on the left or right wing.
Bournemouth are keen to hold on to the Ghana forward for as long as possible, but there is a perception among the upper echelons at the Vitality Stadium that they could find themselves in a vulnerable position if a formal offer from a club like Liverpool is made.
Will the 25-year-old attacker, who has been on the pitch for 21 games since making his debut for Ghana in 2022, be looking for a new home at Anfield soon…?
And will Ben Doak move in the opposite direction…?
