Report: Liverpool turn to 19-goal sensation in January after Isak injury blow

Feyenoord striker Ayase Ueda is reportedly a target for Liverpool ahead of the January transfer window.

It is no secret that Liverpool need more depth in the attacking unit. They have identified the Japanese International as a potential target. According to a report from 1908.NL, Liverpool have identified the 27-year-old as a solution to their attacking problems, especially with Alexander Isak sidelined for a considerable period of time with a broken fibula.

The Japanese international is in scintillating form right now, and he has 19 goals in 25 matches across all competitions. He is on the shortlist for Liverpool along with multiple other attacking players like Karim Adeyemi, Igor Thiago, Omar Marmoush, and Bradley Barcola.

It will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an official offer to sign the player from the Netherlands outfit. Convincing the attacker to join the club will not be difficult. It would be a huge opportunity for him, and he’s likely to be tempted to move to Liverpool.

Liverpool have had a disappointing start to the season, and they are fourth in the league table. They spent a considerable amount of money at the start of the season, and they were expected to win the League title. They will be desperate to bounce back strongly during the second half of the campaign and close the gap with their rivals.

The Japanese attacker could certainly help them improve during the second half. He has the technical attributes to do well in English football, and he will be excited to take on a new challenge at this stage of his career.

Wataru Endo might be able to play a key role in convincing his competent to move to Anfield. It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds.
