Liverpool’s forward line has changed after the 2025 summer transfer window.
Alexander Isak has struggled to meet expectations since moving from Newcastle United.
On the other hand, Hugo Ekitike, who signed from Eintracht Frankfurt, has made a strong entrance.
The French player has netted seven Premier League goals and is now leading a revamped attack that includes Florian Wirtz and Dominik Szoboszlai.
At the same time, Mohamed Salah has lost his starting position before heading to AFCON.

As the tournament begins, k.plus sports interviewed former Arsenal and Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor for his views on several African players.
He had four categories: ‘goat’, ‘legend’, ‘great’, and ‘joy to watch’.
Chelsea icon Didier Drogba was discussed towards the end of the interview. Initially, Adebayor placed him in the ‘goat’ category.
However, he clarified his choice when Salah’s name was mentioned, picking Salah over Drogba without hesitation.
Adebayor stated, “For me, Mo Salah would have to be the goat.”
Adebayor also mentioned Sadio Mane, placing him firmly in the ‘legend’ category.
Highest-scoring African players in Premier League history
Mane scored 111 goals in 263 Premier League games for Southampton and Liverpool, ranking him second among all-time African goalscorers.
Salah tops the list with 190 goals, also ranking fourth overall in the league.
Didier Drogba follows with 104 goals, and Adebayor himself scored 97 throughout his Premier League career.
Yakubu completes the top five, having netted 95 while playing for Everton, Middlesbrough, and others.
