Liverpool get GREEN light to sign Africa’s finest player

Liverpool now have a chance to sign Africa’s finest player from last year.So at this minute in time the Reds have one-track mind on Alexander Isak. Or at least it feels like it. Behind the scenes that’s probably not totally the case.2025/ 26 LFC x adidas range

Liverpool’s recruitment group will be acutely conscious Newcastle’s position on the Swede is unstable and it’s impossible to forecast whether they will get the ideal replacements for him before allowing Isak to leave.So, naturally there will be options in place.At the end

of the day Liverpool harbour ambitions of being the very best team worldwide and completing for the Premier League and the Champions League.That’s why they desire Isak. However that’s likewise why if that offer doesn’t happen they will have something lined up. Simply put they can’t go into the season with Arne Slot’s back-up assaulting choices being Rio Ngumoha and Federico Chiesa.But who could they target so late on in the window? The choices are slim. But how about last season’s African Football of the Year?No, it’s not Mohamed Salah. Rather remarkably it was Ademola Lookman who was given the honour in 2015 after scoring a hat-trick in the Europa League final.Okay, he’s not a flashy name. However he’s still an elite enemy, who can play in a number of different roles, which suggests in January Liverpool can still sign Isak and continue to play Lookman.Crucially, Lookman is still offered on the market after his relocate to Inter Milan fell through. Lookman wishes to leave Atalanta

. He handed in a transfer request previously on in the season. That’s as green light as the Reds are ever going to get to make a move for him.He’s in his prime at the moment at 27-years-old. He made 20 objective contributions in Serie A last season. Lookman can play on the wing, he can play centrally. He’s good in one vs one situations. He moves the needle for Slot and gives him an extra weapon.Without Isak, Liverpool will require that during the very first half of the season. Not to discuss Lookman counts as homegrown so he doesn’t use up a precious non-homegrown spot in the squad.It’s

a transfer that merely makes sense. It’s one Liverpool definitely have to check out.
