Liverpool‘s front line of attack turned out to be the cornerstone of Jurgen Klopp’s successful run the last term.
The trio of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino has been a menace to the opponents since their formation, however, the form of the latter is quite concerning now.
Being the focal point of the attack, Firmino saw a huge decline in his goal-scoring rate in the previous season, regardless of his decent Copa America run.
The 28-year-old became exposed to injuries as well, leaving Klopp deprived of enough back-up options except Divock Origi.
Going forward, the Reds must rope in a new striker who can take the pressure off the Brazilian No.9 and at the same time, enhance the competition with Origi.

The 27-year-old took the Bundesliga by storm, racking up 17 goals and 7 assists and was the third joint-highest scorer in the league.
Before his switch to Germany, the Danish star was popular as a key player for AZ Alkmaar, with whom he splashed a handful of goals. It also helped with his debut with the Netherlands senior team last year.
Having a tall and sturdy build, Weghorst is a clinical finisher. An astonishing fact is that he was able to achieve the aforementioned numbers only with a meagre average of 2.1 shots per game and 1.1 key passes. There is no wonder he won 3.4 aerials per game, being such a tall figure.

His inclusion would ease the scoring burden off fellow forwards Mane and Salah.
The Reds have a solid line-up in terms of the attack but adding a striker of higher quality like Weghorst would give the German manager a sigh of relief ahead of next season.
Citing his potential and fitness, the Dutch goal machine would be a safe bet for the Merseyside club.
