Liverpool fans could only dream of having a striker like Victor Osimhen on their team.
This is not a case of Liverpool’s inability to attract a player of the Napoli star’s caliber.
They can do it 10 times over and bring in many of Europe’s finest stars, if they choose.
To the frustration of Liverpool fans, the powers that be at Anfield function in a very different manner, which irritates those who represent the club.
While Chelsea is on another spending spree, Manchester City is looking for two Premier League players to replace Julian Alvarez, and even West Ham United has been spending heavily this summer.
Liverpool has yet to make a signing, despite the fact that the new Premier League season is just one week away.
It’s even more awkward because Arne Slot is the team’s new manager, and he hasn’t had a warm welcome from his new club.
Just look over in north London, Tottenham have achieved a club-record transfer of Dominic Solanke, and this comes from a man like Daniel Levy, who has previously been chastised for his lack of ambition in the transfer market.
In any case, with Osimhen rated at £110 million, he remains a Napoli player and has yet to go, despite the fact that the summer transfer market closes at the end of this month.
Don Hutchison was asked to list a few strikers, excluding Osimhen, who are top-tier but not worth more than £100 million.
The former player suggested Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins, who led the Midlands club to the Champions League last season by scoring 19 Premier League goals and assisting 13 times.
According to ESPN, Hutchison believes Liverpool should sign Watkins because ‘they need someone to play within the 18-yard box’.

Regarding attackers other than Osimhen who would not cost more than £100 million: “Ollie Watkins, I wouldn’t imagine he is £100 million,” Hutchison stated. “Harry Kane probably isn’t worth £100 million anymore.
“But it isn’t just the number; it’s how much I appreciate and love Osimhen.
“But if I were Liverpool, I would probably sign Ollie Watkins because I believe they need someone who plays in the 18-yard box and is guaranteed to score goals. That’s why I adore these athletes. Osimhen is shredded and ready to move. I hope he does not leave Serie A, but he is worth more than £100 million.”
Liverpool fans should worry.
You just have to wonder where Liverpool is going after Jurgen Klopp and what they want to accomplish since there are so many warning signals.
They have not upgraded or replenished their roster. Even if you are Manchester City and have won four Premier League titles in a row, this is a dangerous thing to do.
Then you question the existing players. Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to leave Liverpool – he has 12 months left on his current contract – with Real Madrid looming in the background.
Virgil van Dijk has made a choice on his future at Liverpool, but he still has 12 months left on his contract.
But they aren’t the only ones; you can also add Saudi Arabia-linked Mohamed Salah to the list, all of which should cause concern among Liverpool fans.
