Liverpool Reportedly Eye Victor Osimhen as Backup Target to Alexander Isak

According to Givemesport, Liverpool have held discreet talks with Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen as they explore attacking options for the upcoming season.

While Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak remains the Reds’ top priority, reports from TRB Football suggest that Osimhen is open to a move to the Premier League, increasing the likelihood of a potential switch to Anfield.

The 25-year-old forward, who has impressed with his performances at Lille, Napoli, and more recently Galatasaray, is seen as a strong alternative should negotiations with Isak fall through. Osimhen’s pace, physicality, and proven goal-scoring ability make him a compelling option for Liverpool’s frontline rebuild under Arne Slot.
