Liverpool are close to being crowned Premier League champions and could start the summer with aplomb if they can land one of England’s top offensive talents, per reports.
Liverpool on the verge of sealing Premier League crown
Arne Slot has become a hero among Liverpool supporters and will soon deliver the reality of becoming the first Reds team in the modern day to claim the title in front of their own supporters at Anfield. With the Premier League title race a forgone conclusion, only a point is required at home to Tottenham Hotspur this weekend to ensure fans are sent into scenes of jubilation on Merseyside.
Celebrations will be in order after what feels like weeks of Liverpool having to store their champagne in cold storage, but what happens when the novelty wears off and the defending champions turn their attention to next term?
Presumably, an exciting summer window will be in store, and reports suggest the Reds are already eyeing a double swoop for Bournemouth pair Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez to kick things off. Looking to pull off some ambitious deals, Bayer Leverkusen full-back Jeremie Frimpong is another Liverpool target as they plan for all scenarios, including a potential move for Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid on a free transfer.

They are “sniffing around” him
Title victories can often embolden managers to stick with the options they have to compete for further silverware later down the line. However, football is constantly evolving, so there can be no expense spared in the hunt for greatness.
Keeping that in mind, Liverpool could now sign one of the Premier League’s most renowned attacking threats for a discount, per recent developments.
Liverpool could land Mohammed Kudus for discounted price
According to Football Insider, Liverpool could land West Ham United forward Mohammed Kudus for a discount as they look for upgrades on their current attacking ranks. Despite retaining an £80 million release clause involving domestic clubs, the Ghana international could be allowed to leave the London Stadium for a fee in the region of £70 million, and the report claims the Reds are “definite” he would be an upgrade on their current forward options.

Labelled “brilliant” by Alan Shearer, Kudus has been a mainstay either on the flank or through the middle this term, registering three goals and three assists in 30 appearances across all competitions. The Hammers have endured a disappointing campaign to say the least, though the 24-year-old has also created 30 chances on league duty as his side stand on the verge of beating the drop.
Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz could be cashed in on by Liverpool to create room for Kudus, who has become one of their top targets to fill any void left by sales this summer. Undoubtedly, the former Ajax man is in need of a new challenge and Merseyside could be the best environment possible for him to continue thriving in the English top-flight.
