One striker Liverpool haven’t been linked with this summer is Lois Openda.

There was certainly some interest in Openda before his move to RB Leipzig, but since then, things have gone quiet.

As mentioned, the Belgian international currently plies his trade in the Bundesliga, and as per a report from journalist Sacha Tavolieri, it seems like Openda is ‘ready’ to explore pastures new.

“Wait&See…”

Seeing as though Openda would be available for €60million (£51million), he’s likely to be one of the cheaper options for a number nine this summer.

He’s been in decent form for RB Leipzig this term, with the attacker contributing to 24 goals across all competitions.

Openda is also only 25 years old, which makes him an ideal candidate for Slot’s ranks, with the Dutchman seemingly trying to build a team for the future, rather than just one for now.

Indeed, only time will tell what the future has in store for Liverpool and Openda, but on the face of things, a move for the striker makes a lot of sense.
