Certainly, the Reds have missed the option of the Portuguese forward during a difficult start to the campaign in the post-Sadio Mane era. Not least for his ability as a “game-breaker”, the player likely to notch the all-important first goal in breaking down stubborn defences.

3 PLAYERS WHO COULD LEAVE LIVERPOOL THIS SUMMER

English Premier League giants Liverpool had one of the most strange seasons last campaign and also had to face a couple of weird moments as well. After starting last season as the league’s champions, they had their title to defend but they were unable to do so and they eventually lost their crown to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City after enduring a torrid campaign. City also had a mixed campaign as well but they bounced back from their poor form and conjured a remarkable turnaround that saw them emerge as the Champions of England.
