Liverpool want Inaki Williams?

Our leading rumour for Friday morning, is the whisper that Liverpool are looking at Athletic Bilbao attacker Williams.

Senegal will play in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, after finishing top of their qualifying group thanks to three goals from a certain Sadio Mane. The adaptable forward’s January absence could therefore become a problem for Reds coach Jurgen Klopp, who may be looking to bring in some back-up over the winter transfer window.

Which is where Williams could come in, according to reports. The Bilbao forward is flexible enough to play anywhere across the frontline, with pundits even suggesting that, instead of a Mane replacement, Klopp could see the Spain-born starlet as his next Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

It’s questionable, as we said in Thursday’s rumour reel, that Liverpool require another attacker. But, speedster Williams could be too good to miss out on, with the prospect of the 22-year-old linking up with Mane, Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino et al a tantalising prospect.
