Liverpool looked toothless in the attack all day, and with Hugo Ekitike a long-term absentee, it may be that another striker is looked at in the summer. That’s certainly the opinion of O’Rourke, who told Football Insider that the Reds may be considering it: “Losing Ekitike to this long-term Achilles injury was a huge blow because he was probably the one shining light of all the signings they made last summer.

“Isak’s had a real difficult start to his Liverpool career, picking up another little niggle in the last few weeks. It’s vital for Liverpool and Isak that Isak has a good pre-season and comes back fully fit and firing for next season.

Obviously, they might need to add to their striker options because of Ekitike’s injury.” Another striker essential for Liverpool this summer Another striker is a must for Liverpool, given the seriousness of Ekitike’s achilles injury, not to mention the fact that Alexander Isak has struggled to match the hype that surrounded his arrival last year. It feels like another vital summer for Liverpool – it remains to be seen if Slot will still be in charge beyond it – and four or five top signings are essential.
