Liverpool nearly banked unexpected transfer windfall thanks to Burnley after selling £6.5m striker

Liverpool have been scoring goals for fun this season as they go in search of an unprecedented quadruple. The leading scorers in the Premier League ahead of Manchester City with 75 goals, they boast the division’s top three marksmen in Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane.

Registering 114 goals in all competitions, 19 different players have scored for the Reds this season with the Egyptian leading the way with 28 goals. Meanwhile, the Portuguese and Senegalese stand on 19 and 14 respectively, with Roberto Firmino and Takumi Minamino following behind on nine apiece at the top of the club’s scoring charts.

With Divock Origi and Luis Diaz also in his ranks, boasting five and two goals respectively, Jurgen Klopp is well-stocked when it comes to senior attacking talent ahead of the final months of the season. Yet Liverpool did let one forward move on in the summer who has gone on to enjoy a prolific season himself and catch the eye in a major European league.
