Report: Mystery Premier League club has bid for £16m player after Liverpool links emerge
Today at 04:15 AM
The January transfer window is just around the corner, and teams are now getting their ducks in a row ahead of the winter window.
One team who may have some work to do next month is Liverpool.
Indeed, the Reds are flying high at the top of the Premier League table right now, and they will want to consolidate that position.

Liverpool have been linked with plenty of January signings.
Martin Zubimendi remains a Liverpool target, while Liverpool scouted Takefusa Kubo recently from Real Sociedad.
Liverpool are also keen on Ricardo Pepi, and now, an unnamed Premier League club has apparently made a move for the attacker.
Mystery club bids for Ricardo Pepi
According to Goal, an unnamed Premier League club has made a bid for Ricardo Pepi.
The value of this bid is said to be $20.7m (£16m), but the identity of this club remains unclear.
However, it would make a lot of sense if Liverpool were the team in for Pepi.
Indeed, the Reds were linked with Pepi very recently, and they could be looking to add more attacking depth to their side.
Manchester City are also keen on Pepi, while Manchester United had Pep on their radar a few years ago.
Ricardo Pepi stats this season
There are a number of teams keen on Pepi, and one mystery club has even made a bid for the American, and it's easy to understand why.
Indeed, Pepi has been in red hot form for PSV this season, and the stats show it.
| Ricardo Pepi stats this season | |
| Games | 15 |
| Goals | 10 |
| Assists | 2 |
| Minutes per goal | 63.6 |
Pepi is averaging just under a goal every hour, that's a better rate than any player in the Premier League including Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland.
At the age of just 21, Pepi has tons of room to improve too.
Of course, goals in the Eredivisie don't necessarily reflect to top Premier League performances.
Alireza Jahanbakhsh was a Golden Boot winner in the Netherlands before struggling at Brighton, while Memphis Depay was highly-rated before flopping at Manchester United
At just £16m, it's certainly worth taking a gamble on a player like Pepi, but whether or not his good performances for PSV translate over to the Premier League remains to be seen.
Pepi is certainly a player to keep an eye on heading into January.
