Jurgen Klopp wants to sign Inter Milan striker

Liverpool are eyeing up a deal for Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi.

The 22-year-old has been on the Premier League radar for sometime now, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United all previously interested.

The Premier League giants were all interested in signing Icardi throughout the summer, but the Argentine remained loyal to Inter and stayed put.

Since then, he has been made captain of the San Siro outfit by Roberto Mancini, but was recently dropped by the Italian, sparking speculation surrounding his future.

Icardi was one of Serie A‘s top goalscorers last season, and is known to have an eye for goal, which is something Liverpool are lacking so far this season.

Liverpool in need of Striker

Christian Benteke is netting a few, but Divock Origi has failed to impress since returning from loan, and long-term injuries to Danny Ings and Daniel Sturridge leaves their futures in doubt.

Ings is likely to miss the rest of the season, and despite returning to first-team training, it’s never known how fit Sturridge really is.

Jurgen Klopp is desperate to add a striker to the side in January, and Icardi could be his main target after being put off of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang‘s price-tag.

Borussia Dortmund want around ÂŁ42million for the striker, whereas Icardi could be available for just ÂŁ25m.
