Dusan Vlahovic sent Liverpool fans wild after scoring seven goals in one half

Dusan Vlahovic continues to be linked with Liverpool.

The Fiorentina striker has started this season where he left off last year, scoring six goals in eight games to boost his already promising reputation.

The 21-year-old bagged 21 goals in 37 appearances for Fiorentina in 2020/21, leading him to be linked with several clubs across Europe.

Liverpool are one of those, with the Reds joining the likes of AC Milan and Tottenham Hotspur in apparently being interested in the £52m-rated striker.

The forward is no stranger to Liverpool fans, who loved what they saw from him in pre-season.

And Reds fans were hugely impressed when Vlahovic faced Italian fourth-tier side Foligno in July.

The forward started the game on the bench, but was introduced at half time and went on to score seven goals in the second period, as Fiorentina ran out 11-0 winners.

Liverpool fans, knowing of Vlahovic’s links to the club, saw the striker bag the goals and immediately took to social media to urge the club to bring the player to Anfield.

Lecce director of football Pantaleo Corvino believes Vlahovic would be a guaranteed starter if he made the move to Anfield.

He told Tuttosport: "Vlahovic is a starter.

"Quality has no age. Vlahovic could now play as a center forward for both Juventus and Liverpool or Tottenham."
