It looks a good move for Arsene Wenger.

His Arsenal side have often in the past few seasons been seen as lacking a striker with the killer touch.

This week he should finally get someone who appears capable of delivering it as Alexandre Lacazette look set to complete a move from Lyon worth in the region of 45m to 50m euros.

Lacazette’s impressive form at Lyon has regularly seen him linked with Europe’s top clubs and plenty of Liverpool supporters would have been keen for the Reds to have been part of the conversation around his future.

The Frenchman was headed for Atletico Madrid before their transfer ban was upheld allowing Wenger to swoop for a player he first made a bid for last summer.

So shouldn’t Liverpool have been interested as soon as Lacazette’s move to La Liga fell through?

A striker who scored 37 goals in 45 games last season and enjoyed 54 in the two previous seasons, and at 26 in the prime of his career.

Ultimately it comes down to priorities and Klopp is happy with his attacking options.

Goals have been added through Mohamed Salah with Sadio Mane , Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho all reaching double figures last season.

Daniel Sturridge , Divock Origi and the returning Danny Ings are other options, meaning that Klopp is happy to make his key signings elsewhere.

It is a similar situation with Klopp’s former Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

While Liverpool have abandoned the policy of investing in untapped potential rather than proven talent, the cost of a deal for Aubameyang at 28 is not seen as making financial sense for the club.

The want away Gabon striker has now been linked with a move to China or Italy.

Liverpool of course would make an exception in the unlikely event that Monaco sensation Kylian Mbappe became available for a move to the Premier League.

The 18-year-old would cost far more than either of the other two but is seen as such an outstanding talent across Europe that it would be impossible not to try to make it happen.
