Towards the second half of the season, Liverpool’s decision-making rate declined in terms of scoring.In this summer’s transfer window, they are looking to secure an attacker who can carry them into a new era. With Egyptian international Mohamed Salah now a veteran, it is time for a generational change.
While there are rumours of interest in various players, particularly left-handed right wingers such as PSV Eindhoven winger Johan Bakayoko and Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Pedro Neto, new manager Arne Slot’s connections have also brought a player from Feyenoord to the forefront.
Mexican international Santiago Gimenez, who scored 23 goals in 30 games for the Eredivisie this season, is one of the candidates.
However, as he is not a priority target, few media outlets have reported on his links with Liverpool, but reporter Graeme Bailey reported that a move to Tottenham Hotspur is the most likely option.
“I think Spurs like him a lot, they’ve been doing work on him,”
“I’d be making them favourites in that race at the moment.”
“I haven’t heard too much on Liverpool,”
“I know there’s the links with Arne Slot but how much impact the manager’s going to have on the search for players, I don’t think Liverpool are built like that. They might be asking about his players but I don’t think he would drive that.”
