The Reds might have spent huge on Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike in the summertime, however additional attacking reinforcements are wanted subsequent yr.

Mohamed Salah’s dip in kind is a fear, with indicators that the Liverpool legend has drifted previous his peak, and Cody Gakpo can arguably be improved upon, too.
