Liverpool tends to hold their cards close to the vest, making them a difficult target in the transfer market.
They kept their cards close to the vest since no one had heard anything about Federico Chiesa until the deal to bring him to Anfield was well advanced.
Although many people believe that Liverpool’s offensive is their strongest suit, at least on paper, the rumor mill has continued to associate them with a few players.
According to rumors, the Reds have now received “positive feedback” regarding a player who has previously collaborated with Arne Slot.
Scouting for Liverpool Igor Paixao
The Reds have a strong offensive lineup with Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, Dawin Nunez, and Chiesa already at the club.
However, it has been reported that Liverpool attempted to sign Nico Williams from Athletic Club during the summer transfer window, while Omar Marmoush has been linked to a move to Anfield in recent months.
If claims from Caught Offside are to be true, Liverpool scouts have been greatly impressed by Feyenoord’s Igor Paixao. However, it is yet unclear if Slot will increase his numbers up front.
The boss is familiar with the Brazilian, who is valued at about £29 million and spent two seasons at Feyenoord with Slot.
The article also states that teams like Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Aston Villa are keeping an eye on Paixao and that Liverpool has not yet made a play for him.
The statistics for Paixao this season
With 18 goal contributions in 24 games so far this season, Paixao has been in outstanding form for Feyenoord and is beginning to generate results on a regular basis.
| Igor Paixao stats | Apps | Goals | Assists | Mins played |
| Eredivisie | 17 | 4 | 9 | 1.376′ |
| UEFA Champions League | 6 | 1 | 4 | 511′ |
| Johan Cruijff Schaal | 1 | – | – | 77′ |
It’s unclear if Liverpool will pursue their interest in him, though, given he has spent the majority of his games this season at left wing, and they already have too many players for that position.
Although that price doesn’t seem too high and Paixao is a pretty intriguing player, we can’t see this one happening unless there is an unexpected change in strategy.
