Here are 2 AFCON stars for Liverpool to watch out for

Cedric Bakambu

With the future of Daniel Sturridge uncertain, Klopp may consider bringing in another forward ready for the second half of the season.

One man who could keep tabs on during the African Cup of Nations is DR Congo forward Cedric Bakambu.

The 25-year-old moved to Spanish side Villarreal last year, and scored 22 goals in his first season in Spain, 12 of which inspired them to fourth place in La Liga, and thus qualification for this season’s Champions League.

Although he hasn’t hit the heights so far this season, netting twice in eight league games, Bakambu is clearly a talented forward who has an eye for goal, and would certainly provide Klopp with another attacking option at Anfield.
