Liverpool are “100 per cent” interested in signing RB Leipzig attacker Xavi Simons, while Virgil van Dijk has made an exciting Reds transfer claim.
Today’s Main LFC Headline
Speaking to Anfield Index, journalist David Lynch has said that Simons is a summer target for Liverpool.
“Xavi Simons is definitely a player Liverpool like, 100 per cent is on the radar,” Lynch said.
“Whether that becomes something this summer depends a lot on the competition around him where the spots where you can fit him in open up in the squad.
“But if it does and there’s a real possibility for that to happen, then I’m pretty sure he’ll be high up on the list. They definitely like him.”
Simons only joined Leipzig permanently from Paris Saint-Germain in January, but that’s not to say they aren’t willing to cash in on him.

This Is Anfield pair Joanna Durkan and Sam Millne have dissected the win over West Ham, with Slot’s substitutions questioned, despite the result:
“While Bradley’s withdrawal was possibly unavoidable, Slot’s other substitutions were perplexing and seemed to signal that the game was won.
“The Reds got progressively worse with each of their changes, first Gakpo for Jota then Tsimikas for Robertson.
“With West Ham winning more battles in midfield, Szoboszlai came on for Jones in the 68th minute but didn’t make any impact and instead only served to make things more chaotic.
“We got the usual closing cameo from Endo, but even the decision to take Salah off at the same time was questionable in hindsight.”

Luis Suarez brilliantly equalised with an outside-of-the-foot finish, before Andy Carroll headed home a dramatic late winner.
Liverpool may have lost the final to Chelsea, but that win over the Blues was still a day to treasure.
