Naturally, the dream transfer target is Alexander Isak.

But even amid whispers of a record transfer budget for Slot to spend, it's not clear whether Liverpool would be able to secure that signing.

He has claimed that Kane would not fit the profile for which Liverpool is looking.

"Harry Kane is a goal scorer, an out-and-out goal scorer," Heskey said.

"But he isn’t the right striker signing for Liverpool this summer, his age is the problem for me, not his ability, so I imagine Liverpool will go in a different direction?

"I think he would absolutely suit Liverpool as he gets himself into great positions to score, and he's a keen runner in behind.

He needs to be the number one striker, and I think if Liverpool signed him, he would be number one and a fantastic signing.

But Watkins' expected goals underperformance is far less pronounced than that of the incumbent Liverpool striker, and it seems a reasonable bet that he would bag a hatful of goals at Anfield with the level of service he would be receiving.

At 29, age concerns are less pronounced than with Kane, although Watkins would still be something of a "win now" signing
