Hugo Ekitike is now widely expected to join Liverpool from Eintracht Frankfurt in a move worth around £79m. Slot will hope that the centre-forward can share the goal-scoring burden with Mohamed Salah, who exclusively shouldered most of that responsibility last term.

Fresh from beating Arsenal to the Premier League title, Liverpool are now trying to sign Alexander Isak – having already spent roughly £260m on Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Hugo Ekitike. Aside from Isak, Liverpool also hope to sign a central defender after selling Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen, with Marc Guehi a target.
