Power ranking Liverpool transfer targets up front.
A look at Liverpool transfer targets up front this summer and ranking them from worst to best, featuring Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke…
5) Stevan Jovetic (Manchester City)
Not the most inspiring of Liverpool transfer targets, Stevan Jovetic seems likely to leave Manchester City this summer after failing to settle in at the Etihad Stadium, but the goal-shy Montenegro international just doesn’t look cut out for the Premier League.

4) Edin Dzeko (Manchester City)
Another City flop, Edin Dzeko is also supposedly one striker being considered among Brendan Rodgers’ Liverpool transfer targets this summer, but the Bosnian international has been below par for some time now and the club need to aim higher.
3) Salomon Rondon (Zenit Saint Petersburg)
A prolific Venezuelan impressing at Zenit Saint Petersburg, Salomon Rondon could be a decent option if he is available for a good price, though he shouldn’t necessarily be a priority as it remains to be seen how he’d do in a tougher league.
2) Christian Benteke (Aston Villa)
A player believed to be firmly among Liverpool’s top targets this summer, Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke is available for £32.5m and would not need much time to settle in at Anfield after impressing in the Premier League in recent times.
1) Alexandre Lacazette (Lyon)
Liverpool transfer targets don’t come much more exciting than this – the club are reportedly one of the main contenders, along with Arsenal, to sign world class Lyon goal machine Alexandre Lacazette, and he should definitely be the top striker target this summer.
