That leaves Arne Slot with a big decision to make when his players return from international duty in a few days’ time, and he still has another frontman in reserve who has been catching the eye.

Jayden Danns will be hoping for a better season this time around, having struggled with injuries during the 2024/25 campaign that prevented him from heading out on loan to Plymouth.

It also stopped him from making a single appearance for Sunderland during the second half of the season.

The 19-year-old, who first came to prominence after impressing during Jurgen Klopp’s final campaign, already looks to be enjoying better fortunes, having made two appearances for Liverpool U21s so far this season and earning a call-up for England’s U20s.

Danns captained the Young Lions against Italy on Friday.

Although England fell to a 2-1 defeat in Chesterfield, the Liverpool academy star did his hopes of getting more opportunities under Slot no harm as he scored for his country, providing a tidy finish to equalize shortly after the visitors’ opener.
