Liverpool have an abundance of talent within their ranks at the moment, with the club already spending close to £200million on improving their squad.

Now, however, as per a report from The Athletic, it seems like Ben Doak is set to be given a chance to prove his worth to Slot’s starting XI.

However, if he fails to impress, then he needs to put himself ‘in the shop window’ to allow the Anfield outfit to recoup some of the money they’ve spent this summer.

But, the fact that Klopp dubbed him a “special” talent, shows how much potential he possesses.

If only one attacker out of Nunez, Diaz and Federico Chiesa leaves this Liverpool summer, then Slot likely has enough talent among his ranks to not look for any replacements on the transfer market.

Indeed, the Anfield outfit would no doubt earn a pretty penny for the sales of their players, but without enough depth among their ranks, there’s no chance of them retaining the Premier League title.

This is why Doak could end up being the answer to Slot’s problems, as even though he only contributed to 10 goals across all competitions for Middlesbrough, there’s no denying that he’s an exciting talent.

His inclusion in Liverpool’s first-team squad would not only allow them to avoid spending any money on a replacement, but would also give them a player who would not mind being on the fringe of the first team.

Of course, only time will tell what the future has in store but for now, Doak must prove his worth to Slot to be included in his 2025-26 plans.
