Liverpool’s star playmaker Philippe Coutinho is out injured for at least five weeks and another star attacker in the form of Sadio Mane will leave for international duty in January.
In such a situation, the Reds are looking to reinforce their attack next month when the winter transfer window opens.
As per the latest reports going on in the media, the Merseysiders are linked with numerous strikers. Celtic’s Moussa Dembele is a wanted man and Liverpool are preparing a move (via Glasgow Live) to secure his signature.
The Les Bleus forward has scored 17 goals in 27 games for the Scottish side so far this season.
On the other hand, Daily Star cite reports in the Italian media (Corriere dello Sport) claiming that Liverpool are interested in signing Polish international and Anderlecht striker Lukasz Teodorczyk.
The former Dynamo Kyiv star has a better goal-scoring record than young Dembele as far as this season is concerned. In 23 games (21 starts), Lukasz has already scored 19 goals and provided 2 assists. He has netted 5 goals in 5 Europa League outings.
Moreover, the 25-year-old center forward is obviously more experienced than Dembele. Last but not the least, his price tag is not very high as well. As per the provided Daily Star link, he is rated around 12 million pounds ($15million).
In your opinion, should Liverpool sign Dembele or Teodorczyk?

Lukasz Teodorczyk will be the best option, if he can agree, and he has a good goal record than Dembele but the most important thing is that can he fit jurgen klopp partten of play? Ynwa
In a good season I’d expect to score a skip-full of goals in either Scottish or Belgian football as they are both crap and especially if I played for the only decent teams in those countries . . . Celtic and Anderlecht. Oh, I’m 65, knackered, over-weight and arthritic, by the way!
Also, I’ve noticed that Dembele scores quite a few penalties so that reduces the number of goals scored in open play somewhat and open-play goals are a better indicator of talent, in my book. Mind you, he’s a decent player so why not get him if we can?
I know nothing about the other guy except that his name gets lots of points at Scrabble. My main hope this transfer window is van Dijk . . . hopefully with Lovren returning to Soton in part-ex to keep the cost down a bit.
Sign dembele and make it quick !!!! please also stump up the cash for VAN DIJK !! JOB DONE
I think this guy would be a better and cheaper option, just like getting Mane ahead of Goetze .
Forget these guys. Go for Alexandre Lacazette!!! He won’t be just a squad player or just 1 of the 1st 11. He would become a major star for us and I’m sure 1 of the best in the League and maybe in Europe. I feel he can be the next Torres/Suarez sensation for us. Yes he will cost a lot more than the other options. But for £40m you’ll be bagging a playing who will not only score 20 30+ goals a season but can be effective anywhere along the front line out wide or central and provide assists much like Suarez did but has electric pace. He will also press well when off the ball making him ideal under Klopp.
