Liverpool are preparing to strengthen their squad this summer, with a striker seen as a top priority under new manager Arne Slot. The club is considering several options to bolster their attack following a competitive season in the Premier League.
According to The i, club legend Robbie Fowler has suggested that Liverpool should pursue Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins, especially if a deal for Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak proves too costly. Watkins, 29, has scored 16 goals and provided 13 assists this season, offering proven Premier League experience.
Watkins has played a total of 466 matches across his career, scoring 171 goals. His consistent form under Unai Emery has attracted attention, and with Villa adding Marcus Rashford to their ranks, the forward’s role could shift.
Fowler believes Watkins could fit Liverpool’s needs even if he doesn’t match the usual transfer profile. “He’s a tremendous player and established and experienced in the Premier League,” he told the outlet.
Liverpool’s interest in Isak remains, but Newcastle’s valuation, reportedly over £100 million, may force the Reds to consider more practical alternatives. Watkins, expected to be available at a lower price, could provide both quality and reliability in front of goal.
Joining Liverpool would present the opportunity for Watkins to compete at the highest level and become a part of Slot’s vision at Anfield. With Darwin Núñez’s future uncertain, the club may turn to a more consistent option up front.
