Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Liverpool on Monday, July 20.

The buildup to the summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Liverpool eye possible reinforcements.

Jurgen Klopp's league leaders have not been particularly busy during recent windows, but that has not stopped the rumour mill from linking them with additions.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Anfield.

Monday morning's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup:


Tottenham Hotspur to hijack Liverpool's move for £75m Victor Osimhen?

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly preparing a move for Lille forward Victor Osimhen.

The 21-year-old enjoyed an excellent 2019-20 campaign for his French club, scoring 18 times and registering six assists in 38 appearances in all competitions.

Napoli have been strongly linked with the Nigeria international, but a host of Premier League clubs also continue to be credited with an interest ahead of this summer's transfer window.

According to The Express, Liverpool have 'moved into pole position' for the attacker, but Spurs are now 'weighing up a late move' to bring him to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Lille are believed to be demanding £75m, which Napoli have agreed to meet, but the Nigerian is thought to be keen to secure a move to England ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

Osimhen, who scored 13 times in 27 Ligue 1 outings last season, has a contract with Christophe Galtier's side until the summer of 2024.



Juventus 'line up Raul Jimenez as Diego Costa replacement'

Juventus are reportedly keen to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Raul Jimenez this summer as a replacement for Brazilian attacker Douglas Costa.

Jimenez has been in excellent form for Wolves during the 2019-20 campaign, scoring 26 times and contributing 10 assists in 51 appearances in all competitions.

The 29-year-old has been linked with a number of clubs in recent months, including Manchester United and Liverpool, who could both move for new forwards this summer.

However, according to Tuttosport, Juve are firmly in the race for the Mexico international, who has been identified as a possible replacement for Costa.

The report claims that the Old Lady are attempting to offload the Brazil international to either Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain in order to raise funds for Jimenez.

Maurizio Sarri's side are thought to be keen to sign a new striker as a replacement for Gonzalo Higuain, with Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus also previously mentioned as a possible target.
