£70m star has been publicly offered to LFC’s rivals…

This is one that just doesn’t make an awful lot of sense to us…

Our top scorer last season was Coutinho with 14 goals, so many Liverpool fans thought a pacy striker who could bag at least 20 Premier League goals a season would be a summer priority.

But, alas, it’s not – with Jurgen Klopp happy to stick with 11-goal Roberto Firmino as his no.1 option, with 7-goal Daniel Sturridge backing him up.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang though has been made very much available, with Borussia Dortmund offering him to Chelsea for £70m.

Liverpool are ready to spend £70m on Southampton centre-back Virgil van Dijk and Red Bull Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita (both of who are not openly available), but have no interest in the Gabonese striker – who’s plundered over 80 goals in his past two seasons.

Aubameyang is, without a doubt, world-class – and in many ways it’s frustrating to watch a player of that ilk actually for sale and Liverpool not wanting to get involved.

Last term, every top-7 side had a 20-goal Premier League striker – the type who could score a winning goal from one chance when it seemingly wasn’t going well.

But we understand that when Klopp’s attack is functioning, it’s less predictable and more dynamic than our rivals’ – so as fans – we should trust his judgement, especially now Mo Salah has joined.
