Liverpool’s attacking lineup has been firing on all cylinders since Arne Slot took charge on Merseyside, and the Reds may have the chance to enhance it further this summer.

Under Slot, the team has netted 45 goals in 18 Premier League matches this season, placing them at the top of the league.

Mohamed Salah has once again emerged as the standout player for the Reds, contributing 30 goals and assists in the league so far.

Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo have also played significant roles in Liverpool’s success, while Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez have had somewhat lesser contributions to the team’s attack.

Liverpool may now have the opportunity to bolster their league-leading forward line by signing one of the best forwards in the world.

Jonathan David Available for Free

Long-time Liverpool target Jonathan David, who was first considered by the club in 2020 before they acquired Jota, could be available on a free transfer this summer as his contract with Lille is set to expire.

The Canadian forward has publicly stated his intention not to move in January, making a free transfer increasingly likely for the 24-year-old.

As the year draws to a close, many in the football world are looking ahead to 2024, and a data expert has compiled a list of Europe’s top forwards.

Michael Reid shared the rankings on X, formerly known as Twitter, with a familiar name at the top.

While Salah holds the top spot, David is just five goals behind him, ranking fourth.

Liverpool could secure a remarkable deal if they manage to acquire the fourth-most prolific forward in Europe without a transfer fee.

Do Liverpool Need David?

Despite having one of the finest attacking units in world football, a major concern is that their star player, Mo Salah, is also in the final year of his contract.

Speculation regarding Salah’s future is rampant, and although negotiations for a new deal are reportedly underway, there remains a genuine possibility that the Egyptian King could depart Anfield on a free transfer at the end of the season.

Additionally, there are uncertainties surrounding Darwin Nunez’s future, and the loss of any forward would create a pressing need for reinforcements at Liverpool.

Given this context, pursuing Jonathan David could be the ideal bargain that Arne Slot and Richard Hughes need to initiate a rebuild at the forefront of Liverpool’s attack.
