Liverpool could look to complete a surprise move for Joao Pedro in the summer transfer window, according to reports - with the Reds likely to add to their attacking ranks in the coming months to bolster their Premier League title retention hopes.
Pedro has been a revelation at the AMEX Stadium by scoring 30 goals in 70 games on the south coast, proving himself to be a skilful and competent Premier League star - and with change likely to be afoot at Anfield, boss Arne Slot could look to unlock Pedro's talent if he makes the move to Merseyside in the summer months.

The report from Sky Sports journalist Sacha Tavolieri states that Brighton are interested in striker Promise David, from Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium - though that could spring the option for Liverpool to make a move for Pedro if the Seagulls can land the Canada-born star, who has had his breakthrough campaign in Belgium this season with 16 goals in 31 games in the league.

Pedro, who has been called an 'absolute superstar', is being considered as a possible alternative to the Reds if they lose Darwin Nunez in the summer transfer window, and fail to secure the 'hoped-for' arrival of Newcastle United star Alexander Isak, who has been arguably the Premier League's best striker this season with 23 goals - only Mohamed Salah has more.
Newcastle will likely ask for a British transfer record for the Swede, and that will block his potential move to Anfield, leaving Slot to look elsewhere in his search for a talisman.
Diogo Jota hasn't been at his best this season, but Nunez has continuously failed to produce the goods for Liverpool, and he is likely to leave in the summer - leaving the Portuguese star alone in their striking ranks, despite Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz sometimes filling in from the left-hand side of the pitch.
Pedro is only 23 years of age, but he moved to England when he was just 18 years old - joining Watford and racking up 24 goals in 109 games for the Hornets, before moving to Brighton at the start of last season.
