Liverpool set to seal mega-money deal for Napoli’s goal-scoring hero Gonzalo Higuain
Reds on verge of securing sensational deal Argentine striker as Jurgen Klopp closes in on top summer strike target
LIVERPOOL are close to signing Napoli star Gonzalo Higuain, according to reports.
The Argentine striker is believed to be a summer target for Jurgen Klopp after a terrific season in Serie A.
Higuain scored an incredible 36 goals in 35 league appearances and can now class himself as one of the deadliest hitmen in European football.
Klopp is keen to strengthen his attack with a world-class striker following a disappointing showing the likes of Christian Benteke and Daniel Sturridge.
The German tactician was forced to hand chances to Roberto Firmino and youngster Divock Origi in attack, and would love to bring Higuain to Anfield.
Liverpool will have to pay through the nose to get him, but BeIN Sports claims that a deal is almost at the finish line.
It comes on the back of reports claiming Liverpool are also set to sign Porto’s Hector Herrera.
The Mexican midfielder would bring some power and speed to Klopp’s midfield, and a move is close.
It would also spell the end of the pursuit of Sporting Lisbon’s Joao Mario, with Manchester United keen to snap him up.
