Liverpool's attack could be set to flourish after agreeing personal terms with Antoine Semenyo. The Bournemouth striker has been identified as the ideal person to compliment the Reds' attack as they prepare for the January transfer window.
The move to sign another attacker has intensified after Mohamed Salah drowned his future in doubt following his startling outburst last week. They also sold Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, while tragically losing Diogo Jota who passed away.
As a result, the signing of Semenyo could be exactly what is needed to kickstart their season in the second half of the campaign.

Semenyo's move to Anfield could move quickly after Caught Offside reported that personal terms had been agreed. The Bournemouth star signed a new long-term deal over the summer which includes a £65million release clause that becomes active in January. As a result, a number of clubs, including Man City are keen to do a deal.
It is, however, reported that Semenyo's preferred destination would be Liverpool, meaning that the chance to replace Salah could be very much on the cards.
Described as "world-class", Semenyo has been in excellent form, scoring 17 goals and providing eight assists since the start of last season.

A move to sign Antoine Semenyo could be huge for Liverpool, while also helping to unlock Alexander Isak at Anfield.
The Swedish striker has endured a difficult time since completing his big-money move from Newcastle United, scoring just twice in 14 appearances for the Reds.
Having started just six times in the Premier League, we're yet to see Isak truly hit his stride but the addition of Semenyo could help. A player who can play off the flank or centrally, the Bournemouth star could combine beautifully with Isak and swap positions between the left wing and up front during matches.
Semenyo's arrival would represent a move away from the traditional inside forward role that have been used in recent years. Instead, he could be used as another more traditional centre forward, combining with Isak and Ekitike.
It remains to be seen whether a deal will be finalised, but Semenyo would certainly add genuine quality and versatility to Arne Slot's attack. Providing they can see off the threat of Manchester City, this could be a hugely successful signing and one which would offer great value at £65million.
