# Liverpool have no alternative to Kylian Mbappe

[Liverpool Echo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/lfc-reporter-james-pearce-van-13258270) journalist James Pearce has claimed that Liverpool will not pursue another striker, even if they fail to bring Kylian Mbappe to Anfield.

Pearce, a renowned source of information on all things LFC, was speaking at a Q&A with Reds fans on Thursday when he said:

> There is no alternative to Mbappe. That was always a long shot and with him seemingly out of reach, \[Jurgen\] Klopp is happy to push on with the striking options he’s already got.

The reporter also thinks it is very unlikely that teenage sensation will even make a move to England:

> If Mbappe wanted a move to the Premier League, Liverpool would be prepared to bid for him, but I don’t expect that to happen.

The Monaco striker has been estimated to be worth around £100 million with European outfits such as Real Madrid and PSG interested in the 18 year-old.

He continued:

> I’m not aware of Liverpool showing any interest in either \[Alexandre\] Lacazette or \[Pierre-Emerick\] Aubameyang this summer. I think the only way we’ll see Liverpool buy a striker this summer is if \[Daniel\] Sturridge says he wants out.

Liverpool so far have purchased Mohamed Salah for £34 million with Dominic Solanke also set to join the Reds from Chelsea on 1st July.
