While the departure of Egyptian international Mohamed Salah has been hectic, rumours of his departure are also flickering among the main forwards, including Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota. Furthermore, Federico Chiesa has not been active and is close to returning to Italy.
Liverpool, who could be reshuffling their attacking line-up ahead of next season, have a number of centre-forwards and wingers on their list. The front-line attacker and right winger are the top priority positions and are moving into a new era.
According to Caught Offside, the Merseyside club are eyeing England international Morgan Gibbs-White, one of the leading attackers at Nottingham Forest, who has continued his good form this season, but is expected to be in contention with Tottenham Hotspur The.
The 25-year-old attacker has been a regular this season and has five goals and seven assists to his name after 25 Premier League games. It’s not just the numbers that remain, but his style of play, with his abundant athleticism, running all over the pitch and always being in front of goal, fits in perfectly with the counter-oriented Nottingham side.
Last season he was used in a variety of positions, including as a left or right winger, but this season he has concentrated on being an attacking midfielder. He excels not only in pressing, but also in his ability to hold the ball up when surrounded and deploy it up front.
In the Arne Slot system, the burden has increased on Hungarian midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai. Harvey Elliott has not won 100% confidence. He has concerns about his running ability to cover the whole pitch, and his small stature means he is not a strong defender against opponents.
Curtis Jones used to play in the same position, but he seems a little inferior in terms of chance creation and is more suited to playing one row further back.
To ease the burden on the Hungarian midfielder, the 25-year-old attacker, who has continued to produce results in the Premier League, would certainly look attractive. He is also at the right age to make the step up.
However, his strong performances this season are likely to prevent him from making the move. If he continues to qualify for the Champions League, he will be inclined to stay with his current team, making it more difficult to attract him.
Will the England attacker, who is being keenly watched by some of the best clubs in the country, still choose to move to a club that is also likely to be a top contender every season…?
