Liverpool are increasingly likely to sell Darwin Nunez at the end of the season and have shortlisted four elite strikers as potential replacements.

If anything, this was the work of someone trying too hard. It will, however, only increase the question marks about whether it will ever fall into place for a striker who earned a reputation as "Captain Chaos" for his all-action style but simply does not produce with the consistency to meet Liverpool's demands.

Mohamed Salah was having a Ballon d’Or season right until the moment he ran into PSG and Achraf Hakimi. The Liverpool star has been the poster boy of the Premier League this season, leading the Reds to a 20th top-flight title thanks to his contribution of 27 goals and 17 assists.
