Liverpool plan to replace their struggling front three – and have four top targets in mind – while Monday’s transfer gossip claims Tottenham are looking to sign an in-form Chelsea star.

KLOPP WANTS TO REPLACE STRUGGLING FRONT THREE

Liverpool have a four-man transfer shortlist to replace their misfiring attackers ahead of the summer transfer window, claims a report.

Mohamed Salah, and particularly Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino have been way below their best this season. Indeed, the deposed champions have scored just four times in their last seven games. Their season reached a new nadir with a 1-0 loss to Fulham on Sunday.

Pundit Roy Keane has not held back in a scathing criticism of Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Salah has now scored one goal in his last five Premier League games. Mane and Firmino, meanwhile, have not scored in the Premier League since beating Tottenham on January 28.

Such has been Liverpool’s struggles in attack that Stan Collymore, via the Daily Mirror, claims Klopp is keen to move on all of Salah, Mane and Firmino.

He says there are “whispers” at the club that the trio could be sold if big-money offers come in. Furthermore, he says they already have a four-man list to replace them.

He said: “LFC front 3 have won the lot and may fancy Madrid, Bayern or Juve for a new challenge.

“So don’t discount an overhaul being at least being whispered at LFC.

“Haaland, Grealish, Fati (Barca completely skint) Boadu (couple of Dutch coaches I know love this kid) all on a list.”

Klopp plays down mass Liverpool exodus

Klopp, however, insisted that none of his big hitters would leave Anfield this summer – even if they missed out on the Champions League.

“The club is in a different situation and it will not be an issue with new players I can say that.

“We said it years back if a player does not want to come to us because we don’t play Champions League next season then I don’t want him.

“And if a player wants to leave because we don’t play Champions League then I don’t want him. It is not a personal thing, but it is always

“You always need to find the right squad for the challenges you face. Then you go for it. It is nothing I worry about.”
