Liverpool's transfer news highlights Arne Slot's plans to revamp the Reds' forward line for the 2024/25 season. Anthony Gordon's arrival could help Slot achieve his ideal attack. Last season, Liverpool's attack was among the best in the Premier League, with Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo, and Luis Diaz playing over 50 games each and scoring a combined 47 goals. Mohamed Salah added 25 goals in 44 games, while Diogo Jota scored 15 in 32 games. Despite a strong winter period, Liverpool fell short in the title race due to defensive issues, managing only three clean sheets in their last 18 games.
There's minimal chance of Salah and Diaz departing, but the interest in them has led to links with new attackers. Slot will need top-quality options to compete with rivals. When Liverpool begins the Slot era against Ipswich Town on August 17, the front three might look different. Here's a look at the dream forward line:
Mohamed Salah remains crucial for Liverpool, and at 32, his quality is vital. Playing off the right, he can change games instantly, and his bond with fans and goalscoring record ensures he'll play a key role under Slot.
Darwin Nunez has scored 33 goals in two seasons but still faces doubts about his consistency. With Slot's support, he could become a world-class forward, but another inconsistent season might end his time in England.
With Anthony Gordon transfer, Gakpo's impressive Euro 2024 campaign and Diaz's talent present selection challenges. However, with interest from Barcelona for Diaz and Gakpo's versatility, Gordon could be the needed addition on the left.
