Liverpool targets Monaco’s promising forward as potential Luis Diaz replacement

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has made an impressive start in his first season, securing the Premier League title with four games remaining. Despite minimal additions last summer, the team has thrived under his leadership.

As attention turns to the upcoming transfer window, Liverpool has reportedly approached Monaco regarding their 20-year-old forward Eliesse Ben Seghir. The Moroccan international has caught the eye of both Liverpool and Manchester City scouts.

Ben Seghir is said to be frustrated at Monaco and open to a move if guaranteed first-team opportunities. His potential arrival could signal an upgrade over current winger Luis Diaz, whose future at Anfield is uncertain amid interest from Barcelona.

While Diaz has scored more goals this season, Ben Seghir excels in other areas:
– More progressive carries and carries into the final third
– Higher number of successful take-ons
– Better aerial duel success rate
– Wins more fouls
– Completes more progressive passes

At just 20 years old, Ben Seghir has both the current ability and potential to develop into an elite talent. Described as a future “£100m player” by one analyst, he could secure a long-term place in Liverpool’s attack.

A move for Ben Seghir would allow Liverpool to potentially cash in on Diaz while adding a young star with tremendous upside. His all-around attacking skills and athleticism make him an intriguing target as Liverpool looks to build on this season’s success.
