EXPERT SHOT
ESPN Liverpool correspondent Beth Lindop explores why the club might be interested in signing USMNT forward Ricardo Pepi.
The ongoing debate over whether €80m striker Darwin Nunez has what it takes to be Liverpool's long-term No 9 means there will be no shortage of reports linking the club with potential replacements.
Nunez has entertained and frustrated in equal measure during his time at Anfield so far, often drawing criticism for his erratic finishing. Diogo Jota's injury has opened the door for the Uruguayan international to play a more leading role in recent weeks and he is slowly adapting to Arne Slot's more controlled, possession-based style. But he has yet to prove that he can be a prolific goalscorer for Liverpool, having managed just three goals and two assists in all competitions so far this season.
While Núñez shouldn't be ruled out just yet, there is a lot to like about Pepi and he certainly ticks a few boxes in terms of Liverpool's traditional recruitment policy.
Under FSG ownership, Liverpool tend to target young players who are available for a relatively low fee, but who already have extensive experience at the elite level. Having earned over 30 caps for the USMNT, 21-year-old Pepi fits this mold at around €25 million, while his ability to go deep and connect with the midfielders behind him could align well with the Slot system.
