34-goal Chelsea target very keen on joining Liverpool
Chelsea have received a potential transfer blow with Patson Daka eager to join Liverpool this summer.
The Zambian had a superb 2020/21 campaign with Red Bull Salzburg, registering 34 goals and 12 assists from 42 appearances.
A recent report from Football Insider claimed that the Blues and Reds are interested in signing the 22-year-old striker.
The same publication cites that the Reds are leading the race with Daka 'very keen' on playing under manager Jurgen Klopp.
Roberto Firmino had a disappointing season with the Reds, scoring just nine goals from 48 appearances in all competitions.
Klopp could be eyeing a high-profile signing to lead the line, and Daka could be available for a bargain price this summer.
Daka reportedly has a release clause of just £17 million on his contract.
West Ham United have also been linked with the marksman, but he has snubbed the opportunity to join them.
The Hammers are searching for a new striker after qualifying for the Europa League group stage for the first time.
