Liverpool have been left to fear the extent of Alexander Isak’s injury suffered during Saturday’s 2-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur. However, the January transfer window rolls around with opportune timing should the Reds find themselves down another attacker this winter.<\/p>\n
Isak<\/a> was forced off as he took the brunt of a Micky van de Ven tackle when unleashing his goalscoring shot to open Liverpool<\/a>‘s account at Spurs. He is set to undergo an MRI scan on Monday<\/a> that will reveal the full extent of the problem.<\/p>\n A lengthy injury for the striker would mean he is the third Reds attacker out of action as things stand, with Mohamed Salah<\/a> away representing Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations and Cody Gakpo<\/a> also injured.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Steven Gerrard reaches out to Liverpool and shows true colours with Arne Slot wish<\/a>READ MORE: Virgil van Dijk shares delight as Federico Chiesa response to Alexander Isak injury speaks volumes<\/a><\/p>\n The answer could prove to be a \u00a365m splash in the transfer market this coming January. At present, Liverpool are one of several clubs linked with Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo<\/a>.<\/p>\n That sum is believed to be the 25-year-old’s release clause, though it has a swift expiry in the new year meaning suitors must act quickly.<\/p>\n According to The Guardian<\/a>, the Reds are vying with major rivals Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, but may have an advantage with Anfield<\/a> hinted as Semenyo’s favoured destination.<\/p>\n It is explained how Semenyo – who has played primarily on the right flank for his current club under Andoni Iraola – is Arne Slot’s solution for a long-term Salah successor.<\/p>\n But Gakpo’s absence could create an opening on the left, meanwhile Semenyo has recently expressed his desire to feature centrally in attack – a possibility if Isak is out of action.<\/p>\n “I’m destined to be a No.9,” the Ghanaian told AwayDays<\/a> on YouTube. “Andoni, gaffer, play me as a nine – that’s all I’m gonna say.”<\/p>\n For the latest news and breaking news, visit liverpoolecho.co.uk\/all-about\/liverpool-fc<\/a>.
