Liverpool will need to add pace and dynamism to Arne Slot's attack this summer, with Mohamed Salah leaving after nine years at the club and several options on the tableLiverpool forward Mohamed Salah.(Image: Robbie Jay Barratt - AMA/Getty Images)Mohamed Salah is leaving Liverpool this summer and that is the main issue that the Reds will have to address in the transfer market.At times this season, Arne Slot has been short of options at center-back, but Jeremy Jacquet is coming in from Rennes. At left-back, Kostas Tsimikas could be the replacement for Andy Robertson.The one certainty is that Liverpool will need more options out wide.
Liverpool is one, though the likes of Newcastle, Everton and maybe even Brighton, Bournemouth or Brentford should also be keen — and able to offer guaranteed starts.Joe Cole and Joleon Lescott interview West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen.(Image: Julian Finney/Getty Images)Yan Diomande (RB Leipzig)Perhaps the most obvious selection, Yan Diomande has been a revelation in the Bundesliga this season.

Liverpool would offer the chance to play every game.At the age of 23, Barcola should only get even better than he is now, and he is already an established Champions League player with plenty of experience at the top level.Goals and assists are the metric that matter in the final third. Liverpool is in desperate need of more speed too — and plenty of contenders will be under consideration.
