"Confidential readers may recall I wrote in May that the word from inside Liverpool's corridors of power was that they wanted a 'versatile forward' who could play across the front three. Hugo Ekitike perhaps ticks that box but Semenyo could be one to watch in the future. Sporting director Richard Hughes signed him at Bournemouth, of course, having seen his excellent performances at Bristol City. But he has kicked on this season and has become a must-have in your fantasy football teams!"
"It has been a week of doom and gloom for Liverpool - there is no sugar-coating that. You have probably read or heard thousands of words and hours of debate about just what is wrong with Arne Slot 's champions... or maybe you have been hiding away after three straight defeats. So instead of recapping the week that was with nuggets of information, as we normally do in this Liverpool Confidential column, Lewis Steele, our Reds expert, will answer YOUR questions on the club."
Liverpool has suffered three straight defeats under Arne Slot, generating scrutiny of squad options and transfer priorities. Antoine Semenyo was highly regarded earlier in the summer and interest resurfaced after the season opener, with the club seeking a versatile forward able to play across the front three. Hugo Ekitike is another candidate who could fit that profile. Sporting director Richard Hughes previously signed Semenyo at Bournemouth after admiring his Bristol City performances. Mohamed Salah is expected to move on sooner rather than later, and targets such as Michael Olise and Adam Wharton could be considered next summer.
