“He’s a tremendous player” – Robbie Fowler urges Liverpool to sign 29-year-old PL star amid concerns over Alexander Isak’s price tag 

Robbie Fowler has urged Liverpool to sign Ollie Watkins if they cannot lure Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. The Reds legend believes that the Aston Villa star will help Arne Slot’s side more than anyone and he fits into their system.

Speaking to iPaper, Fowler stated that Liverpool are unlikely to pay over £100 million to sign Isak. He believes it is best if they start looking at alternatives and named Watkins as the ideal player for the Anfield side. He said:

Aston Villa had a bid for Watkins from Arsenal in the January window, but the Villa Park side rejected it swiftly. They are reportedly open to selling the striker despite letting Jhon Duran leave for Al Nassr.

Gabby Agbonlahor was on talkSPORT earlier this season and claimed that Liam Delap should be a target for Liverpool. He said that the Ipswich Town star would do better than Darwin Nunez:

Liam Delap has a £30 million release clause after the relegation of Ipswich Town from the Premier League. The striker had a clause in his contract, but Chelsea and Arsenal currently lead the race for the striker, with Manchester United also in the mix.
