Liverpool could very well be in the market for a new centre-forward in the coming months.
That will, of course, depend a great deal on how well under-fire striker Darwin Nunez fares over the course of the second half of the campaign.
Despite reports of genuine Saudi interest in the Uruguayan hitman, it’s understood that the Reds are not prepared to part ways in the current window.
Understandably so, given it’s unlikely Liverpool could secure an improvement in January.
Former Liverpool target Evan Ferguson could be on the move

Naturally, of course, that won’t stop links from popping up out of the woodwork, and it’s surely only a matter of time before Brighton man Evan Ferguson gets a nod from one outlet or another.
Particularly after Fabrizio Romano reported on X (formerly Twitter) that the Republic of Ireland international is ‘expected to leave’ the Seagulls on loan this January.

It’s quite the fall from grace for the 20-year-old footballer who had previously, allegedly, caught the eye of our scouting department back in 2023.
Goals, and minutes, have been hard to come by since Fabian Hurzeler took over the south coast-based outfit in the summer of 2024.
Ferguson has only 373 minutes and a single goal to his name (across all competitions) in the 2024/25 season. It looks set to be a sharp drop-off from his total of 1,721 minutes (and seven goal contributions registered) in 2023/24.
However, one can only hope a loan spell may revitalise what did very recently look like a promising career in the Premier League.
It would need to be one hell of a loan away locally or in Europe, of course, to encourage sporting director Richard Hughes to take a serious look at the striker come the summer.
But stranger things have come to pass!

dear god, what is the point of this article? the writer must have either an IQ of4 or be someone who plays with himself every time Romano tweets.
Do NOT part ways with Darwin Nunez. He’s such a good player. I’m getting fed up with all the speculation about Nunez leaving. Give him a good contract and secure him long-term!
I wish the media and the pundits wud just get off the lad’s case he’s just going through a bad spell alright it’s been a while now but it wudnt surprise me if he started banging them in and He’s a grafter too that’s what I like about him to
we need a lb,rb,cb and a striker
