Liverpool has been encouraged to sign Newcastle Alexander Isak to replace the misvered Darwin Nunez.
Arne Slot criticized Nunez's unacceptable 'behavior' after the £ 85 million striker missed a golden opportunity in Liverpool's frustrating 2-2 draw to Aston Villa on Wednesday. “I prefer that he scores, but the word 'Chance' says it all. It's an opportunity, so it's not 100 percent sure that the ball goes in, and players miss opportunities,” Slot confirmed.
“I can accept that, but what was a bit harder for me to accept was his behavior after that chance. I think he helps the team … That is something we will talk about.”
But Nunez, who was interested in Saudi-Arab clubs during the winter transfer window, may not have to prove itself long under lock, especially if ex-liverpool defender John Arne Riise gets his way. The former left back, which played in Anfield between 2001 and 2008, has encouraged the Reds to join Arsenal and Chelsea in the race for Isak, which is said to have cost a huge £ 150 million.
“I have seen the rumors that say that you would also like to have a move to Liverpool,” Riise said with Riet via Betmgm. “Every striker would like to go to Liverpool the moment they play, but I think it would be a great addition to the team.
“He plays football with a smile on his face, he likes to be creative, he is fast, he is very good for the goal, so I think that would be a great signature. If there is one place, I think that Liverpool should strengthen whether something should do the summer it is the striker position. “
However, those comments do not mean that Riise is not a fan of Nunez. “Sometimes you have players in the team you look at and you like to have a team and Nunez is one of them. He fights, he works hard, he is that kind of character,” went the 2005 Champions League Explain winning defender.
“So often he gets these opportunities and you think:” Yes, now he is going loose now, he's going to score, “but it didn't come for him. And so, regardless of how much I love his personality and how he play, Liverpool is A top club that needs a striker who regularly scores goals.
“We have (mohamed) salah, but he is not a striker, he is a winger. We need a striker that is more clinical and will take care of his chances when he gets them. You will miss something, but Nunez has quite a few huge opportunities Missed that he should have scored.
“So it's a difficult thing like a Liverpool fan and loves nunez as a player, but if you look at the team and what the team needs to stay at the top, I think we should look at a striker who is more clinical In front of the goal. “
