Arne Slot's first Liverpool signing could be £43m forward loved by Romelu Lukaku

One of the latest transfer rumours around Liverpool centres around PSV Eindhoven forward Johan Bakayoko.

Bakayoko is one of the latest players to be credited as a potential Liverpool target this summer. Give Me Sport have claimed that the Reds have scouted the PSV forward with a view to potentially making a move bringing him to Anfield when the transfer window opens. It has been claimed that the Reds could sign the forward for less than PSV’s £43m valuation.

The Eredivisie club noticed early on that Bakayoko had talent, featuring for the club's youth teams where he was coached by former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy. He was eventually promoted to the first team in 2022 by former manager Roger Schmidt, making his senior debut in March 2022 when he was 18 years old.

What has been said about Johan Bakayoko? Speaking during the November international break this season, Romelu Lukaku lavished praise on Bakayoko, telling Alfredo Pedullo: "He's understanding the importance of numbers in the game.
