The Merseyside outfit have had a brilliant start to the current season under new manager Arne Slot . They are top of the Premier League with 18 points while winning both of their Champions League matches too.

It has been a perfect beginning under the new boss, but the club could be busy in the transfer market next year with the prospect of losing Virgil van Dijk , Trent Alexander -Arnold and Salah on a free transfer.

The trio have entered the last year of their respective contracts and as things stand, no progress has been made with any. Salah in particular has been touted to leave and the Reds are preparing a contingency plan.

They have their sights on landing Kudus, who has a £85m release clause in his contract at the Hammers. The Ghanaian has 19 goals and eight assists since joining the London side from Ajax last season.
