Liverpool’s impressive attacking depth has been one of their main advantages this season. With his incredible record of 18 goals and 13 assists in 19 Premier League games, Mo Salah may be taking center stage, but other players are also making an impact.
Cody Gakpo, who had a patchy start to his Liverpool career, has been on fire under Arne Slot. On Sunday, he scored his 12th goal of the season across all competitions in a lavish match against Manchester United.
The fit-again Diogo Jota is a constant goal threat, and Luis Diaz has also been outstanding. However, Darwin Nunez, a forward whose future at the club is in doubt, has been noticeably less brilliant than the others.

According to Football Insider, Liverpool are “open” to selling Nunez in the January transfer window and would accept offers in the region of £50-60 million.
Newcastle are reportedly interested in the Uruguay international, who has largely flattered to deceive since his £85m move from Benfica in 2022. Despite showing some promise and scoring 18 goals in all competitions last season, Nunez has only netted four times in 24 appearances this term.
There is said to be interest in the 25-year-old, although Football Insider claim “he is not one of Eddie Howe’s targets for the upcoming transfer window”.
Newcastle would only likely enter the race to sign Nunez should star striker Alexander Isak be sold, with growing speculation about the Swede’s future. He has 13 goals in 18 league games and is amongst the world’s in-form strikers
