Since the departure of Luis Suarez to Barcelona, no Liverpool striker has been able to score 20 plus league goals in a season.
Sturridge managed to get 22 in 2013-2014 (majority with the help of Suarez) but since then, the England international has mainly found himself on the treatment table.
Last season, Brazilian international Roberto Fimrino was Liverpool’s top scorer who netted 10 times in the league for the Reds.
The Merseysiders surely need to sign a proven goal scorer this summer and are linked with a move for “solid all-round” star (HITC) Islam Slimani.
Liverpool have already moved in for the Algerian international with an offer of 25 million Euros, however, the bid was rejected by Sporting CP. Slimani has a release clause of 30 million Euros ($34million) in his contract (Noticias Minuto).
The African striker scored 31 goals in 46 games for Jorge Jesus’ side who lost the title on the final day to Benfica last season. Liverpool must do all to secure his signature.
Here is how Liverpool will line up with Slimani if he eventually moves to Anfield this summer.

Henderson is no team leader and I’d have him on my bench . Milner is a team leader but it’s a question of will he be able to keep a regular starting spot in the team ? If not we need to invest in a new captain also I don’t think sakho did a lot wrong up until he got wrongly suspended so he would also enter my starting line up
