Liverpool are expected to be in the transfer market for a goal-scoring option this summer with Mohamed Salah’s contract nearing expiry, and neither Diogo Jota nor Darwin Nunez leading the line as per expectation.

Liverpool are planning to offer Darwin Nunez in exchange for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak in the summer, according to reports. The Reds are having a brilliant first season under Arne Slot with Liverpool currently seven points clear of second-placed Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table.

Newcastle United have set a new asking price for Alexander Isak amid interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool. The Swedish striker has been in blistering form at St James’ Park, scoring 17 goals and making five assists in 23 Premier League games this season.
