Liverpool eyeing move to sign 'elite creative talent' with 18 assists last season - report

Liverpool are showing an interest in signing a creative forward in the summer transfer window.

It's been a slow start to the summer transfer window so far for the Merseyside club, who have confirmed just one new signing since the window opened.

Victor Munoz arrived through the door to improve their winger options, while Jeremy Jacquet has also joined the club, but his move was confirmed last season.

Liverpool undoubtedly need further reinforcements if they want to improve on last season, which was overall a disappointment.

The Reds are also losing Andy Robertson, Ibrahima Konate and Mohamed Salah, so there is no doubt that there is still work to be done in the transfer market.

According to a report from Team Talk, Liverpool are one of the sides showing an interest in signing Genk attacker Konstantinos Karetsas in the summer transfer window.

Borussia Dortmund are believed to be the side in pole position, but a host of clubs in the Premier League are also taking a look at the 18-year-old.

Karetsas produced 18 assists for Genk last season despite being just 18 years old, which is a phenomenal achievement.

Whether he can come and replicate that sort of level of production in the Premier League immediately remains to be seen, but there's no doubt he's a huge talent for the future.

Karetsas, described as an elite creative talent, interestingly produced more assists than Kevin De Bruyne for Genk back in the 2010-2011 season, when the Belgian attacking midfielder was 19 years old.

Signing up and coming talents from around the world, like Karetsas, will undoubtedly be beneficial for Liverpool in the long run, but they also need to bring in some ready-made additions.

Replacing Salah has to be the immediate priority, as they will undoubtedly want someone at a higher level than Munoz.

Finding a player capable of replicating what Salah produced in terms of goal contributions won't be easy, but that's the task of the recruitment team over the coming weeks.

Liverpool need to back Andoni Iraola in the market if they want to be fighting for the Premier League title once again.
