Liverpool might be prioritising their pursuit of Alexander Isak before the summer transfer window closes, but club chiefs could now rethink matters after Friday’s win over Bournemouth.

His goal compounded a poor night for Liverpool centre-back Ibrahima Konate, who appeared to stand off the forward before ending up in no man’s land as he shot on goal.

On Sky Sports, Jamie Carragher, who moments earlier had questioned the positional play of the centre back, said: “What is Konate doing?

Rather than going all out for Isak, the club would be better served by gunning for Marc Guehi before the September 1 deadline.

A sale of Konate, whose head already appears to be looking towards the exit door, would help fund a bid for the Crystal Palace star.

If Slot hesitates, he faces the prospect of a season with a demotivated star in the heart of defence who has no intention of staying.

Friday night proved that Liverpool have the attacking weapons to cope without breaking the bank for Isak.

Imminently selling Konate and going all in on Guehi could prove his biggest masterstroke yet.
