New 89-goal striker is coming to Liverpool as Reds find sensation There's an exciting attacker who is going to be heading to Liverpool's first-team soon. Let's face it, these last few months have been difficult for Arne Slot. First Alexander Isak's injury has not made things easy for the Dutchman.
Slot has had to rely on Hugo Ekitike and at times use Cody Gakpo or Federico Chiesa out of position. Even the back-up academy forwards during this time have been injured. Jayden Danns is yet to come back from the knock he suffered earlier on in the season.
Will Wright is still just coming back and only now hitting his peak levels while still getting to grips with playing week in, week out at U21 level. And then just as Isak came back, Ekitike got injured. Now Slot has another headache he has to deal with because the Frenchman likely won't be back until 2027.
Thankfully, there is cavalry on the way from the club's academy and in the next few years this problem might become a thing of the past. For a brief moment, Liverpool were elite at producing forwards in the 1990s. In the space of a few years Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen both walked through the ranks at the Kirkby academy centre and blew the first-team away.
