Liverpool set to stun Premier League rivals as Jurgen Klopp enters race for £30m striker
Posted Tuesday, April 19, 2016 by Dailystar.co.uk
LIVERPOOL have entered the race to sign Michy Batshuayi from Marseille, according to reports.
TARGET: Michy Batshuayi
Batshuayi joined Marseille from Standard Liege in the summer of 2014.
He has since emerged as one of the most in-demand strikers in Europe, having bagged 24 goals in 52 appearances for club and country this term.
And the Mirror claim that Jurgen Klopp views the £30m-rated Belgian as a more affordable alternative to Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is now valued at around £75m.
Batshuayi is expected to leave the Stade Velodrome at the end of the season.
But the Reds will have to battle it out with Tottenham, West Ham and Juventus for his signature.
Klopp is set to overhaul his squad this summer as he prepares to challenge for the Premier League title next term.
And Batshuayi could arrive at Anfield as a replacement for Christian Benteke.
The Belgium international has struggled to make much of an impact for Liverpool since his £32.5m move from Aston Villa last summer.
He has scored just eight goals in 35 appearances across all competitions during his debut season on Merseyside.
