Mirror: Reds enter striker race

Liverpool have joined the hunt for Arsenal starlet Chuba Akpom.

And the Gunners striker, 19, is set to leave Arsene Wenger sweating over the future of another one of his prospects.

Arsenal have offered highly-rated Akpom, whose current deal expires this summer, a new three-year deal but he wants to see how much first-team action he gets before signing it.

Wenger has included Akpom in his plans more since the turn of the year, handing him three sub appearances this month.

Liverpool are now keeping tabs on Akpom's situation along with Premier League rivals Manchester City, Tottenham and Everton.

Borussia Dortmund, Red Bull Salzburg, Feyenoord and FC Twente have all made pre-contract offers for Akpom.
