Liverpool have moved ahead of Manchester United and Chelsea in the race to sign Victor Osimhen at the end of the season.
The Merseyside giants have had a poor run of games since the international break and they look set to miss out on the Premier League title.
Darwin Nunez has been a major reason behind their lean patch. The Uruguayan has been guilty of missing plenty of clear-cut chances.
It is now reported that the Reds could make an ambitious swoop for Osimhen, who has his sights on playing Premier League football next term.
United and Chelsea are among the striker's favourite clubs, but he could give preference to Liverpool due to Champions League qualification.
Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in landing his services, but the Nigerian star has the dream of playing in the Premier League.
He currently has a release clause worth €130 million in his contract, but Napoli are prepared to sanction his sale for around €90m.
