Liverpool need to improve their punching force in the summer transfer window and there are plenty of center-forwards linked to the Reds at the moment. One of them is the young Adam Hlozek.

According to Football Insider, the Merseysiders are redoubling their efforts to sign the Czech starlet, who had a brilliant campaign for Sparta Prague last season.

The news source mentioned that Liverpool are ready to take West Ham United out of the water as they have already laid the groundwork to beat rivals to secure the signing of the 18-year-old talent. It is further reported that the teenage sensation could be signed for up to £ 20million.

Hlozek has already played 85 games for the senior Sparta squad and is now a regular starter. Last season he had an injury campaign but was on fire whenever he got fit.

The young center-forward, who can also play effectively on the left wing if needed, has started 18 games in Fortuna Liga and directly contributed to 23 goals (15 goals and 8 assists).

As for the senior international career, so far Hlozek has only started one game for his country. He is part of the Euro 2020 squad, played for 18 minutes in the 2-0 win over Scotland and also played 27 minutes yesterday against Croatia in a game that ended 1-1 .

Liverpool lack a top striker in their squad and are due to sign one this summer. Patson Daka was on their radar but Fabrizio Romano recently revealed that the Zambian is heading to Leicester City. On the other hand, Sweden international Alexander Isak is also the center of attention.
