Stan Collymore has stated that he wouldn’t be shocked to see Liverpool attempting to signal one Premier League attacker within the foreseeable future.
With the ultimate week of the summer time switch window approaching, the Reds proceed to be strongly linked with a transfer for Alexander Isak amid his ongoing standoff with Newcastle.
By way of potential recruitments within the attacking third of the pitch earlier than the 1 September deadline, all of FSG’s eggs look like within the basket of the Swedish striker, though the ex-Anfield ahead advised that one other top-flight star might but enter Richard Hughes’ radar.
Collymore would take Morgan Rogers at Liverpool ‘in a heartbeat’
In his newest column for CaughtOffside, Collymore claimed that Aston Villa might face a battle to maintain maintain of Morgan Rogers if he continues to excel for Unai Emery’s facet, and named Liverpool as one membership who would possibly plausibly search to take benefit.
The 54-year-old wrote: ‘I don’t suppose, at this level, a membership will are available in with a bid for Rogers earlier than the switch window. However this time subsequent 12 months, if he continues the trajectory that he’s on and begins so as to add extra objectives and extra assists, then it’s not going to be a shock if Arsenal, Man United, Man Metropolis and even Liverpool make a transfer.

May Rogers be a believable switch goal for Liverpool in 2026?
Earlier this 12 months, we solely reported for Empire of the Kop that Liverpool had been contemplating making a proposal for the 23-year-old, though none has materialised as of but, and it appears extremely unlikely that one can be forthcoming this late within the switch window.
Nonetheless, we are able to see why Collymore has raised the potential for the Reds stepping into for Rogers in the course of 2026 if the ‘fantastic’ attacker (within the phrases of Glenn Hoddle) replicates or surpasses his exploits from final season, when he scored 14 objectives and arrange one other 16 for Aston Villa.
The England worldwide would give Arne Slot an choice in a number of completely different positions if he have been to maneuver to Anfield, having typically been deployed on both flank and within the quantity 10 function (Transfermarkt). Such versatility would little doubt be a significant plus level after a summer time which, for numerous causes, has seen wholesale change in our ahead line.
Emery’s facet can be aiming to safe a spot in subsequent season’s Champions League, both by means of home inserting or successful the Europa League. In the event that they have been to fall brief on each counts, their quantity 27 could grow to be a drastically needed man among the many Premier League title chasers.
May he be a believable switch goal for Liverpool in 2026? It’s positively not an outlandish suggestion from Collymore…
