In that case, the potential arrivals of Rodrygo and Alexander Isak would, successfully, solely change our outgoings. That leaves Liverpool with 5 high quality attackers within the ahead line.
Don’t get us mistaken, between the 5 in query, Arne Slot can hardly complain in regards to the calibre of footballer doubtlessly out there to him.
In that occasion, a participant just like the Actual Madrid winger would make a substantial amount of sense in mild of his skill to function throughout the ahead line.
Does Rodrygo complicate issues for Hugo Ekitike?

The Brazil star is flexible, positive, however he’s additionally received a reported choice for the left flank. One may fairly think about any potential Liverpool switch might be predicated on the concept he’ll get important minutes in that place.
Will that actually be potential if we’re planning on rotating all three of Cody Gakpo, Ekitike and Rodrygo?
Maybe we’re not planning to utilise our French attacker on the left, after all, which might change issues. But it surely’s a dilemma we must be actively contemplating forward of the brand new season.
