LIVERPOOL’S famous front three could look very different next season.
Reports suggest the Reds are tracking Arsenal wonderkid Bukayo Saka and could launch a bid if the Gunners fail to qualify for the Champions League.
They face a potential battle with Premier League rivals Manchester City if they’re to land his signature.
But bringing in the England superstar would add some fearsome firepower to Liverpool’s already formidable attacking options.
Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino have long been Jurgen Klopp’s go-to options up front, with Diogo Jota slotting in seamlessly from Wolves last term.
Klopp has already been shopping in January to snatch Porto flyer Luis Diaz from Tottenham’s clutches.
If he manages to add Saka in the summer, questions will be asked over who makes way for the new men.
Both Salah and Mane are into the last 18 months of their contracts.

Salah has demanded to be paid ‘what he’s worth’ if he’s to sign any new deal at Anfield.
Discussions over a Mane renewal have been more muted.
While it would come as a surprise to see the newly-crowned Africa Cup of Nations champ leave Merseyside this summer, it may save Klopp a headache if Saka is indeed brought in.
Behind the new-look front three is likely to be a familiar line-up next season.
Competition for places in midfield will be just as red-hot though, with the recent return of Harvey Elliott giving Klopp further options in the middle of the park.
