Liverpool could be active in the January window, and attack is one area they might look to strengthen.The Reds haven’t been at their best early on this season, but there have been signs of improvement in recent weeks.Even so, they’re still expected to be active in the winter window, and the forward line is a likely focus for any new additions.There are plenty of options out there as well. Here are four attackers who have recently been linked with a move to Anfield.Antoine SemenyoPhoto by Robbie Jay Barratt – AMA/Getty ImagesThe most notable name linked with Liverpool recently is Antoine Semenyo, whose £65m release clause has reportedly caught the club’s attention.Both Manchester City and Manchester United are also said to be interested, so if Liverpool want to get a deal done, they may have to act quickly.He brings a mix of pace and power that could fill a gap in the squad, offering something different as the season progresses.Semenyo has already registered eight goals and three assists this season, making him an appealing option for any club looking to strengthen their attack.Yakuba MintehBrighton’s Yakuba Minteh is another name being mentioned, and there’s already a connection with Arne Slot from their time together at Feyenoord.Minteh is known for his speed, which has been giving defences plenty of trouble.
It’s exactly the kind of quality Liverpool have been missing.He also looks up to Sadio Mane, which could be another positive sign if the Reds decide to make a move. Although this feels more like a summer transfer than one for January.Franculino DjuFranculino Dju isn’t a well-known name yet, but he’s starting to get noticed by some of Europe’s bigger clubs.Liverpool are reportedly very interested in the 21-year-old, who has already scored 21 goals for Midtjylland in the Danish league.The Guinea-Bissau international is also on Bayern Munich’s radar and is valued between £22m and £26m, making him a potentially affordable option for January.He might be young, but his consistency since breaking into the first team makes him an intriguing prospect to watch.Yan DiomandeRB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande has also been linked with a move to Anfield, and he might just be the best of the lot.Although he mainly plays off the left, the 19-year-old is able to operate on both flanks.The Ivorian currently at AFCON, has six goals and two assists in the Bundesliga this season.The price tag would be quite high though, with reports suggesting a fee in the region of €100m (£87m), which could increase based on his performance at AFCON.
