“Nico Williams has been mooted as Arsenal’s high goal in the summertime, he’s an excellent winger, he’s terribly fast, he’s bought quite a lot of tips and he’s direct, however actually Arsenal want a striker, I don’t suppose they want a large man.
“When it comes to strikers, you have been hoping that somebody like Evan Ferguson would develop at Brighton, however he’s plateaued and gone to West Ham. If Brighton thought he was growing in the best way they anticipated he would, he would have stayed there.”
Additionally a former Aston Villa participant and lifelong fan of the West Midlands membership, Collymore has seen one title linked with Liverpool in current weeks.
“If you happen to’re wanting round at goalscorers which can be doing the enterprise right here and now, you’re taking a look at Ollie Watkins at Villa, however I simply don’t suppose at this stage and age that he’s a participant Liverpool would take a look at,” he stated, talking in affiliation with William Hill Vegas .
“So I believe in the mean time Liverpool will simply maintain tight and see what occurs when it comes to the objectives output, whether or not Mo Salah will keep, which clearly will massively improve their objectives if he does.
“If Salah does keep, there are rumours of Luis Diaz going, however they’ve bought Gakpo and Nunez nonetheless.
“I do suppose Liverpool then may afford to search for a large ahead to herald that provides objectives slightly than an out-and-out striker, so it’s not a urgent situation but.”
