According to Caught Offside, Igor Paixao is emerging as a strong target for Liverpool ahead of the summer. The Merseysiders have done extensive work to determine if the player fits their profile requirements, with efforts set to intensify on the winger, as Arsenal are also keeping tabs.
Igor Paixao’s performances for Feyenoord this season have asserted the feeling that it is only a matter of time before the Brazilian attacker plays for a bigger club elsewhere. On the sporting side, the Eredivisie outfit would like to keep him on board for as long as possible, although, with regards to doing business, they could potentially sell for a healthy fee.
Paixao has contributed to 27 goals for Feyenoord across all competitions this season, and he has already attracted the interest from Arsenal among others. The Gunners are in the market to reinforce their attacking setup, with a new striker and a left-sided wide player expected to arrive in the summer.
Nico Williams is a player of interest to Arsenal, although they are keeping tabs on Igor Paixao too. The Brazilian attacker has impressed the Gunners’ transfer experts to an extent that they could consider making a move, as they face big competition from rivals Liverpool.
Arne Slot knows all about Paixao, having spent two seasons with the Brazilian attacker at Feyenoord. It appears Liverpool have had scouts present on numerous occasions to watch the Eredivisie star in action, and they are convinced he brings plenty to the table if he was to be signed in the summer.
Liverpool are considering making a few changes to their attacking setup, and the news about the potential renewals of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk will be a big boost for the club with regards to their transfer plans. Arne Slot is eager to build his own attacking setup at the club, with Luis Diaz in danger of leaving the club.
Igor Paixao would ideally seem like a good replacement for the Colombian international if he was to depart, as Liverpool are set to intensify their efforts to land the Brazilian attacker. It remains to be seen how much Feyenoord will demand to part ways with him.
