Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, and Hugo Ekitike all came through the door for big money.

But there was some low-level chatter in the gossip columns about Julian Alvarez as a potential Isak alternative.

That followed on from concrete interest in Alvarez the previous summer, when he ended up exchanging Man City for Atletico Madrid.

Liverpool appears to have made its choice by signing Ekitike and Isak, the latter of whom was secured on deadline day for a British record fee after a protracted chase.

Nevertheless, Fichajes in Spain says that Alvarez is "seriously considering" his future in the capital.

33-year-old Mohamed Salah is as ever-present as before, and Cody Gakpo continues to get starts.

So far, Slot has shown no appetite for playing Ekitike or Wirtz out on the wings.

Hypothetically, the long-term future could see Ekitike and Isak competing solely for the number nine spot, with Wirtz fighting for the advanced midfield berth.

Hugo Ekitike and Cody Gakpo are part of Liverpool's front line.
