Liverpool planning £110m Lille raid?

Liverpool are reportedly planning a double swoop for Lille pair Victor Osimhen and Boubakary Soumare.

Osimhen enjoyed a stellar campaign for the French outfit prior to the coronavirus suspension, registering 13 goals and five assists from 27 Ligue 1 matches.

Recent reports have claimed that Liverpool are in negotiations with the 21-year-old ahead of a potential transfer, and the Reds supposedly have their eye on another highly-rated prospect from Les Dogues.

According to Le 10 Sport, Liverpool are also keeping tabs on 21-year-old midfielder Soumare, who is allegedly wanted by both Real Madrid and Manchester United.

The report also claims that Newcastle United have not given up on their pursuit of Soumare, and could be aided in their efforts to sign the midfielder should the proposed takeover occur before the transfer window reopens.

Osimhen and Soumare would supposedly cost Liverpool £110m, with Jurgen Klopp's side also heavily linked with RB Leipzig's Timo Werner.
