Having endured a, somewhat, underwhelming campaign, it cannot be argued that Liverpool suffered from the absence of star attacker Sadio Mane following the Senegalese international's move to Bayern Munich last summer.
Although Mohammed Salah maintained his impeccable record in a red shirt, injuries to Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota prevented the duo from making season-long contributions, while the likes of Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo needed time to adapt to the rigours of Premier League football.
With Roberto Firmino having now departed Anfield upon the expiration of his contract, Jurgen Klopp could, undoubtedly, benefit from an attacking player of Mane's credentials. After all, he netted double figures for goals in every campaign on Merseyside after joining from Southampton in the summer of 2016.
