Former England striker Jermain Defoe has issued a caution to Arne Slot regarding Liverpool striking options for the upcoming season. Slot is expected to take over at Anfield with Feyenoord agreeing to a compensation package for him. Despite Darwin Nunez being Liverpool second-highest scorer this season, speculation surrounds his future amid a dip in form and social media activity hinting at a possible move to Barcelona.

Defoe suggests that Liverpool may need a more clinical finisher like Diogo Jota, emphasizing the importance of converting chances in a competitive league. Mohamed Salah contract situation adds further uncertainty to Liverpool attacking lineup. The club’s finishing has been criticized as a factor in their title challenge falling short. Despite improvements, Nunez suitability as Liverpool main striker has been questioned by pundits like Jamie Carragher. However, any potential suitors will likely face high transfer fees for the Uruguayan forward.
