A successful World Cup with Sweden could also give the striker the sharpness and self-belief he seeks, leaving him primed to spearhead Liverpool's attack next term.Rio NgumohaThe breakout sensation of Liverpool's campaign, the 17-year-old exploded onto the stage with a dramatic last-gasp winner against Newcastle in August.

Such has been Ngumoha's influence that significant portions of Anfield jeered Slot when he withdrew the teenager during the recent Chelsea fixture.One suspects those supporters won't be compelled to voice their discontent next campaign, with Ngumoha a prime candidate to step off the substitutes' bench and claim Liverpool's left flank as his own.Alexander Isak has struggled at Anfield. He has been touted as one of the finest centre-back prospects in world football, and Liverpool supporters will be eagerly hoping he gets the opportunity to demonstrate it next season.Giovanni LeoniItalian talent Leoni joined from Parma last summer for £30m.
