Premier League giants, Liverpool have joined the fray to sign Nigeria and Genk striker, Paul Onuachu in the summer. The other contenders are Sevilla and RB Leizpig.

Liverpool has benefitted from the recent form of fellow African, Sadio Mane nd Mohammed Salah.

Diogo Jota and Firminho have added another exciting dimension this season, but fears remain about their squad depth. While Xherdan Shaqiri continues to play a sporadic role, the Swiss and Divock Origi have not played much this season, complete sports said.

They have even struggled for game time amid drop-offs in form for their regular trio, leading some pundits to call for more additions before next season.

On Monday, reports linked Liverpool with a swoop for Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic.

And according to Fichajes, though, the Reds are also keeping an eye on Onuachu who moved to Belgium from Midtjylland in the summer of 2019 and scored 10 goals in 29 games in his debut season, according to complete sports.

However, the 26-year-old has taken off this term, netting 29 goals in 31 Jupiler Pro League games. Overall, meanwhile, he has netted 35 strikes in 41 games.

Onuachu played against Liverpool in last season’s Champions League group stages, but failed to affect those games.

Nevertheless, Jurgen Klopp’s men are not alone in the transfer hunt, Fichajes adds. Sevilla and Leipzig are looking at signing the talent.

Onuachu capped a wonderful campaign with Genk by helping them win the Belgian Cup.

Also, he was awarded the Golden Boot and was named Belgian Pro League Player of the Year.
