Before the opening of the transfer window this summer, Liverpool were rumoured to be in the market for a young attacker who could replace Egyptian international Mohamed Salah, but there have been no significant moves so far.
Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have also shown interest in Luis Diaz, but the new season started with no change in the front line from last season.
Michael Owen, who made his professional debut for Liverpool during his playing days and scored a number of impressive goals for England, touched on the world line if any of the forwards left the club and made a strong case for 27-year-old Jarrod Bowen, who plays for West Ham United, against his old club He said.
“Liverpool have great forward options at the moment with Mo Salah, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez, but if one of them left then Jarrod Bowen would be my favourite.”
“But he has signed a long-term contract at West Ham and he might even be their captain. He also isn’t 19 so when you talk about a long-term replacement, you’re looking at players that might give you 10 years and not be in their 30s in two or three years.”
“I’m not sure clubs want to spend 10s and 10s of millions on those players nowadays.”

He has scored 61 goals and provided 39 assists in 204 games for his club.He creates chances from the right wing by dribbling fast vertically and getting in behind, while also going for the goal himself. He is one of the best wingers in the Premier League and has recently broken new ground in his career by being used as a centre-forward.
The Leominster-born forward has also been on the pitch for England in 10 games, but he has a long-term contract until 2030 and is realistically hard to acquire.
At the moment it is unlikely that anything will change up front, will anything happen in the transfer market as the deadline looms…?
