Liverpool want some new additions but their current squad is filled to the brim with exciting talent.

The Reds have had a busier transfer window than most yet they are still linked with some big moves, although outgoings are expected first.

Luis Diaz is heavily linked with a move away and he seems more out than in, as Barcelona and Bayern Munich, as well as Saudi clubs, battle it out for his signature.



Liverpool want £72.5m for their Colombian winger, a figure that would see them more than double their money on what they originally spent on him, giving them a good budget to find a replacement.



However, they could even save all that money and spend it elsewhere, with Arne Slot already having three existing options at Anfield that could be ready to take over the reins.

After signing Florian Wirtz for £116m, most fans would expect him to operate in his preferred number 10 role, and although this will very likely be the case, he has played on the left as well.

Not only has he played there, but he has performed well from this position too, with his energy and skill making him an excellent option.

He might not have the speed that Diaz has, but he will certainly offer Slot something a little different, with his creativity from the left having the potential to cause great danger for his opponents.

This would also give Dominik Szoboszlai more game time as he can take up his previous position, suggesting that even if not a permanent change, we could see this happen in the later stages of many games when Cody Gakpo needs a rest.

If there is one player that Liverpool fans are desperate to succeed at Anfield next season, it is definitely Federico Chiesa.



Although he has barely kicked a ball for the Reds, there is something about him that supporters absolutely adore, with his song playing a huge part in this.

However, behind all the admiration there is a quality footballer inside somewhere, with his second season at the club perhaps where it starts to come out.

He is pacy, skilful and knows where the back of the net is, three traits that make him a like-for-like replacement for Diaz without spending another penny.

Most would say that there is no chance a 16-year-old is ready to replace a first-team player, let alone someone with the quality of Diaz, but that is just how highly-rated Rio Ngumoha really is.

The Englishman has already made his debut for Liverpool and has set the youth team alight, with this perhaps his chance to show what he can do on the biggest stage.

Ngumoha once said he believes he can win the Ballon d’Or, indicating that he certainly is not short of confidence, which Slot will love.

He may be the most rogue choice of the three, but even if he is not quite ready yet, fans can expect him to be in and around the first-team squad very soon at least.
