Liverpool scored three goals and it could have been more against Leicester, with Luis Diaz not even required off the bench. A few days earlier, the Reds notched six at Spurs but could have got close to 10.
Clearly, scoring is not an issue right now, and yet there is still a question mark about the number nine position heading into 2025. Darwin Nunez is still not clinical and Diogo Jota tends to pick up injuries. Given that is the case, signing a new striker could become priority at some stage.
Here is the Liverpool.com verdict on the transfer gossip to emerge around the Reds today. Both players being linked are forwards with the number nine position perhaps something that could become a priority in 2025.
Randal Kolo Muani (PSG)
When PSG and France forward Randal Kolo Muani moved from Eintracht Frankfurt to the French capital, he did so with a big reputation. Ultimately, though, while he remains a very talented player, the switch hasn’t worked out as he would have imagined. Now, he could be set to move on in an attempt to reignite his career somewhere else.
According to Rousing The Kop, Liverpool is one of a number of teams considering the Spartak Moscow forward Manfred Ugalde. The 22-year-old forward has scored 15 times in 18 appearances so far this season in Russia and has been compared to Sergio Aguero.
The price tag would be around $32m (£25m/€30m) with several Premier League sides said to be keen. The Costa Rican attacker is seemingly promising but a move to a smaller club in England first would appear to make more sense.
