Darwin Nunez is one such player, with Napoli interested in signing the Uruguayan forward.

Indeed, it's entirely possible that, should the right targets fail to become available then Liverpool will choose not to spend further.

And specifically do they need to sign a striker this summer?

Our writers have their say:

Liverpool's centre-forward woes last season were well-documented, yet they still ended up as the Premier League's leading goalscorers with 86 goals.

Speculation about Luis Diaz's future also continues, despite the Reds insistence they want the Colombian to stay put.

If any of the contingent depart, Liverpool will need to replace them.

Especially with the likes of Diogo Jota still part of your quota.

Liverpool have strong options in place already, but throw in a prolific number nine - especially if suited to Slot's preferred style - and they become even deadlier in front of goal.

The Reds need a new striker, but so do many of their rivals?

The arrival of such a player would inevitably make Liverpool title favourites.

And you only need to look at how Arsenal keep falling short in title-races, having repeatedly opted against signing such a striker, to see how it can cost you come the end of the season.
