With Molde to sign a 2002-born Ivorian striker, personal details are still being addressed with the player; after that, a contract worth more than €10 million will be signed, Liverpool acquiring Fofana always seemed improbable. Simply put, he doesn't have much room on the team, especially in January. By all accounts,

he is a gifted young striker, but not one that the Reds require. Actually, he would have taken Divock Origi's place. A pure striker who does not necessary need to play every week but can lead the line and force the defence back, we would have wanted that for £10 million because he would have been a long-term investment with the potential to develop into a top player. 

Do lack a real striking option

He simply wouldn't have had the time to grow properly, in our opinion, no, not if he simply accepted what Origi received, but it will be interesting to see Fofana. He could strike the ground running at a team like Chelsea, who do lack a real striking option, the Ivorian may quickly join their starting lineup, whereas at Anfield, we're not sure he ever would have.
