Liverpool eye move for Benfica striker Raul Jimenez?

Liverpool are reportedly considering a summer swoop for £22m-rated Benfica striker Raul Jimenez.

Liverpool are reportedly keeping tabs on Benfica striker Raul Jimenez ahead of a potential summer swoop.

The Reds have a wealth of attacking talent at their disposal, but the long-term future of Daniel Sturridge remains in doubt.

According to Squawka, Reds manager Jurgen Klopp is impressed with the £22m-rated Mexican forward, who has scored eight goals in 18 appearances this season, but is expected to wait until the summer to make a move.

Jimenez was on the verge of joining West Ham United from Atletico Madrid in August 2015, but the transfer broke down after he failed to turn up for a medical.

The 25-year-old claimed that he overslept and missed his flight to London as a result, and he later joined Benfica in a deal that eventually cost the Portuguese club £18m.
