Liverpool's desire to sign a new striker this summer is an open secret, with the club expected to recruit a replacement for Darwin Nunez, who is tipped to leave after three underwhelming years at Anfield.

The Reds splurged a huge amount of money on Nunez in 2022 but he has scored just 40 goals in 138 games for the club and is not a regular starter under head coach Arne Slot.

The Reds expect there to be a strong market for Nunez this summer, when they should still be able to collect a decent fee to put towards his replacement.

A new name that has been thrown into the frame as a possible summer addition to Slot's squad is Victor Osimhen, with Sky Sports saying the Reds admire the Nigeria international. Here are three things that might need to happen for Osimhen to end up at Anfield...

As previously mentioned, Liverpool is likely to look to offload Nunez this summer after keeping hold of him amid interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League during the winter transfer window. Al-Hilal reportedly offered $85 million in January, which in retrospect Liverpool probably wishes it had accepted, and the Reds will hope to receive a similar offer in the summer.
