Luis Muriel - Udinese

The Express and Gazzetta dello Sport going with this.

Don't ask me, never heard of him.

Liverpool eye up Udinese striker Luis Muriel as Luis Suarez replacement

LIVERPOOL have shifted their focus to Italy as they look to make contingency plans in the event Luis Suarez should leave.

Suarez, who hit 23 goals in the Premier League last season, said that he would find it difficult to turn down a move to Real Madrid after he bemoaned the media's constant criticism of him.

We reported that Real are closing in on a move for Suarez and all that is left to finalise is his release clause which stands at £40m.

The Reds have already signed Iago Aspas for a reported £8m, however are keen to add more firepower to their attack.

Football website talkaloadofbull.com describes Udinese's Luis Muriel as a player equipped with blistering pace and lethal finishing, however has been plagued by injury problems.

They also note that Juventus, Inter, AC Milan and Roma have all been clamouring for his signature.

Muriel notched up seven goals in 29 Serie A appearances last term.

This the boy Balotelli reckons will be better the Suarez?

Did he play against us in the europa, can't remember?

Heard good things about the lad despite the poor goal scoring record.

Nope, I think they were saving him for the league.

11 in 15 starts isn't that bad to be fair.

Thanks mate, didn't think he did.

Ah, I only saw the 7 in 29 bit!

Up top it says 7 in 29 ? Not life changing.

No, that was last season.

Both transfermarkt and whoscored have him with 11 in 22 Serie A matches, averaging just 63 minutes a game.

This is a bit more respectable if its right. No reason to doubt it though .

Ye I checked on Soccerway before and they have him down as scoring 11 in 22 Serie A matches but he only started 15 of those 22 which makes it look a slightly better record.

I bet my ballsack he will be a star for us. Only thing he needs is a bit more strength.

Quick as they come, terrific in front of goal, very good with the ball. If we don't snare him now for the reported fee, he will leave for a bigger fee to a massive club and then we won't be in with a sniff.

Remind me again what we are?

A club without European football.

F**k all wrong with what I said. You think we're the only massive club in the world?

The only one that matters. 

He's got a celebratory dance.

Him and Sturridge will be like watching Kid 'n' Play when we score.

No thread complete without the old Youtube special:

He looks like the fella we need to replace Suarez i hope we're on him..

Not a fan of Italian footy so haven't watched much of this lad but that youtube clip certainly ticks an awful lot of boxes. Very interested if we're in for this guy.

Thanks for useful info crouchie mate.

I'm never watch him play but think he's look very very promising. And his teeth, it's Suarez's and Ronaldo's one
