Liverpool fans are still fearful that the necessary improvements will not be made to their attack this summer after losing Mohamed Salah’s goals.Though the Egyptian did not have his best season in 2025/26, he still scored 12 times, making it 257 for the Reds since his arrival in 2017.Clearly that made him comfortably the highest scorer in the Liverpool squad last season, but now that Salah has gone, the amount of Reds goals scored by the current players will do little to ease supporter anxiety heading into the new season.

All three scored more than 100 goals for Liverpool.Now, only one player has even reached half of that tally: Cody Gakpo.

With rumours that Tottenham are aiming to sign him before the transfer deadline on September 1st, he may hand the crown down in the coming weeks.Worryingly, that would leave centre-back Virgil van Dijk as the top-scoring active Liverpool player.Photo by Michael Regan/Getty ImagesREAD MORE: Three in-house solutions and three new signings who could replace Curtis Jones at LiverpoolHaving scored 36 times over the past eight-and-a-half years, one of which was spent out injured, Van Dijk is fairly prolific for a defender, but it just about says it all of Andoni Iraola’s attacking options that his captain is one of his most reliable sources of goals in a red shirt.Behind Van Dijk you have to go through three more players before an attacker is in sight, with Dominik Szoboszlai‘s 13-goal season in 25/26 swelling his overall Liverpool tally to 28, and putting him third on this list.Liverpool may also lose their fourth-highest current scorer, as Curtis Jones’ proposed move to Inter Milan regains momentum.
