Liverpool have got a potential shortage of options in the No9 position this season.
Alexander Isak - a £125m signing from Newcastle in summer 2025 - is expected to lead the line and improve on the four goals he scored during his maiden campaign.
He has no senior backup with Hugo Ekitike, 23, injured until late December or January. And with money set to be spent on wingers it doesn't appear as though Richard Hughes is going to rectify the situation through the transfer market either.
It means potential opportunities for players in Liverpool's youth and academy sides to prove themselves at the highest level.
Jayden Danns - recovering from a serious injury - may head out on loan however as he requires significant first-team minutes.
