Regardless of Liverpool's opponents in the UEFA Champions League last-16 draw, German boss Jurgen Klopp's side were already doing the hard work of putting together a raft of potential reinforcements for the games against Real Madrid in February, with a potential target in the Premier League themselves looking like a perfect fit.

One of the players who did not make much noise last season but who is playing increasingly better football in the English league is Chelsea's young striker Armando Broja, an attacking player who began his real journey through professional football in the Netherlands just three seasons ago with Vitesse Arnhem, scoring eleven goals in thirty games, attracting the attention of Southampton where he scored nine goals in almost forty games, earning him those numbers to return to Chelsea in mid-2022.

Although the young player who already had his participation in the senior national team of Albania is not one of the most constant and regular Chelsea players, the "Blues" have given him the necessary projection for him to continue developing his football skills in one of the most important leagues in Europe, having very early in his career that experience that could draw the attention of Liverpool for this winter market.

After announcing the interest in keeping Roberto Firmino for a while longer, Liverpool would not need an extra attacking element for the rest of the season, but talking about a not so distant future, Broja could play the role of attacker next to Darwin Núñez, and his recruitment in this next transfer window could exert some pressure on the Charrúa attacker to avoid losing that starting position at some point in the future.

Klopp is thinking about a striker

On more than one occasion the coach Jürgen Klopp has ended up betting on somewhat unknown players who end up performing better than expected, being perhaps the Albanian striker a free opportunity to continue betting on youth at Anfield, and who knows, maybe his knowledge of the English league would facilitate his coupling and would be an eligible element against Real Madrid in February, having the German tactician more options in attack if he can not with Nunez, Salah and Firmino solve the match.
