Liverpool links Growing to Sign Quality $22m Rated Star

Liverpool spent heavy cash to sign stars like Christian Benteke and Roberto Firmino in the summer transfer window hoping to strengthen their attack.
However, the mentioned duo have not yet performed up to the mark and as we close in to the winter transfer window, Liverpool still need to reinforce the offense.
In such a scenario, the Reds are linked with a quality young starlet in the form of Swiss international and Basel center forward Breel Embolo.

Mirror cite reports in the Italian media claiming that Liverpool’s links to sign the 18-year-old striker are growing as they look to improve the squad under the management of Jurgen Klopp.
Last season, Embolo scored 17 goals and provided 13 assists in 42 games for Basel and attracted interest from top clubs in the summer. Basel wanted $22m (Blick) for their prized asset but no one matched the sum and he eventually stayed.
This season, Breel has directly contributed in 12 goals (8 goals and 4 assists) in 23 games and the Reds may have to splash a decent sum to lure him.
In your opinion, should Liverpool add another striker or must focus on strengthening the defense instead.
