Liverpool Lining Up £10 Million Nigerian As Replacement For Luis Suarez by kgbd(m): 2:32pm On Feb 16, 2013
Luis Suarez has been attracting heavy interest from all across Europe, with heavyweights Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester City planning big money offers for the Uruguayan. Asa result of all that attention, Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has identified Spartak Moscow striker Emmanuel Emenike as a potential replacement, shouldthe club sell Suarez next season.
The Nigerian arrived at Spartak in 2011 and the striker has been a huge success in Russia, scoring 18 goals in 37 appearances. Emenike also claimed the top scorer trophy at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, where Nigeria emerged champions.
Russian newspaper Izvestia has revealed that Spartak value their hitman at£10 million, and with Suarez likely to fetch in excess of £40 million this summer, the Reds will have more than enough funds at their disposal to lure the 25 year-old to England at the end of the season. Emenike’s contract runs till 2016 and the striker’s price is certain to rise over the next few months as he continues to dominate in the Russian league.
While Rodgers is firmly against selling Suarez this summer, the lack of Champions League football could compel his top striker to leave Anfield. Liverpool already have Fabio Borini and Daniel Sturridge on theirbooks but would be keen on replacing Suarez at the earliest to avoid a repeat of last summer’s blunders.
