Kudus, a great addition for Liverpool
Liverpool is no longer in the fight for the first division title and it is fair to say that their attacking options have been poor for much of the season.
Mohamed Salah failed to maintain consistency throughout the campaign, while players like Cody Gakpo, Darwin Núñez and Luis Díaz lacked clinical edge and missed too many switches in front of goal.
