Liverpool is set to pursue Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins, with new manager Arne Slot approving the move to strengthen the team’s attack. Watkins, eager to join Liverpool, faces competition for playing time at Villa due to Marcus Rashford's presence. Villa is open to offers between £50-60 million as they consider Rashford's loan future. Football Insider reports Slot's dissatisfaction with the current squad's striking options highlights the need for improvement as Liverpool aims for a more formidable attacking presence in the upcoming season.
Former Manchester United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown pointed out that Liverpool's interest in Watkins stems from his unique ability to stretch defenses and make runs behind.
Liverpool's management is aware that next season demands better attacking options with Moyes stating, 'the manager isn't happy with his options' as they prepare for the upcoming transfer window.
