With a title to retain and the challenge of domestic and European glory, the hunt for a central striker capable of consistently leading the line is essential.

Three names stand out as potential solutions: Alexander Isak, Victor Osimhen, and Hugo Ekitike.

Each brings a unique profile that could reshape Liverpool’s attack.

Alexander Isak (Newcastle United)
Age: 25
Height: 6’4”
Style: Mobile Target Man / False 9 Hybrid
Estimated Price: £130–150 million

What He Brings:
Isak is a rare blend of height, technical finesse, and intelligent movement.

Isak is also a composed, clinical finisher in the box.

Victor Osimhen (Napoli)
Age: 26
Height: 6’1”
Style: Explosive Poacher / Line-leader
Estimated Price: £50–75 million

What He Brings:

Osimhen is one of the most explosive and aggressive strikers in world football.

He thrives on chaos — loose balls, high lines, and quick transitions — exactly the scenarios Liverpool love to exploit.

Is Viktor Gyökeres good enough to lead Arsenal to the Premier League title?

Tactical Fit at Liverpool:

Under Slot, Liverpool press with more structure than under Klopp’s “heavy metal” approach, but Osimhen would still suit the aggressive front-foot style.

He is also strong, aggressive and fearless, bullying defenders and not shy of a physical duel.

Hugo Ekitike (Eintracht Frankfurt)
Age: 22
Height: 6’2”
Style: Raw Playmaker-Striker Hybrid
Estimated Price: £35–50 million

What He Brings:

Ekitike is a more developmental option but still highly promising.

Unlike Osimhen or Isak, Ekitike often prefers to drift into creative areas, almost functioning as a second striker or wide forward.

Tactical Fit at Liverpool:

While less refined than the other two, Ekitike’s profile may suit a long-term vision under Slot.

Victor Osimhen is the standout.
