Liverpool have plenty of options to choose from when it comes to a striker, but some are harder to pass up than others.
The Reds want, and need, a striker this summer, but they are under a lot of pressure to make the right decision after their failure with Darwin Nunez.
They broke their club record to sign the Uruguayan back in 2022, spending £85m only for him to likely be sold three seasons later.
Hugo Ekitike is a player linked to replace him and he would cost the same amount of money, another big risk to take on a 23-year-old with no Premier League experience.
Saying this, there is another striker who has never played in England before who has just come onto the market, and Liverpool should perhaps make a move for him as it might be a chance too good not to take.

Liverpool should sign Randal Kolo Muani
The Reds are running out of options this summer, so when a new player comes onto the market, many teams may scramble to try and get his signature.
This could be about to happen for PSG’s Randal Kolo Muani, with Gazzetta dello Sport reporting that the French giants are willing to sell the striker this summer, even at a cut-price.
They state that Juventus are keen to bring him back after a successful loan spell, but they cannot afford to sign him permanently, with PSG wanting him out for good.

Around £50m is what the Champions League winners want, a much lower fee than most of the other striker options currently on the market, and £35m less than Ekitike.
Kolo Muani has previously expressed his desire to play in the Premier League as well, with Manchester United previously interested, suggesting he would be open to the move.
Randal Kolo Muani would be perfect for Liverpool
In any team’s attack, but specifically in Arne Slot’s, one of the best traits a player can have is versatility, and Kolo Muani has that in abundance.
The 26-year-old can play through the middle – his preferred position – or on either flank, with his goal contributions being very similar wherever he plays and his teammate Kylian Mbappe labelling him as a “complete” player.

He also has experience of playing on the biggest of stages, most notably playing in the World Cup final for France when they narrowly lost out to Argentina.
Kolo Muani has the playing style to match what Slot has instilled and he is certainly going for a cheaper price than he should be, suggesting this opportunity might be too good to ignore.
