Goals.

Of all Liverpool’s problems last year, finding the back of the net was the one in particular that stood out, certainly when compared with the 2013/14 season, where the Reds challenged for the Premier League title.

After the incredible goalscoring antics of Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge, the former’s departure to Barcelona and the latter’s injury problems meant that this season’s top scorer was departing captain Steven Gerrard.

Suarez scored 31 last season for Liverpool – Gerrard led the way this year with just 13 goals.

Overall, the Reds netted 101 league goals in 2013/14, the highest amount for a Premier League runner-up. Whilst a repeat of those unprecedented antics was not anticipated, the downturn in 2014/15 was sadly far more dramatic than any Liverpool fan wanted.

Brendan Rodgers’ side only managed 52 goals, a crucial factor behind missing out on a top four finish and a trophy (the chances missed against Chelsea in the Carling Cup semi-final come to mind but there were many other instances where the Reds struggled in front of goal).

Therefore, a top-class striker who can deliver 20 goals a season and stay fit is paramount if Liverpool want to reclaim a place in the Champions League, but finding realistic options that fit Liverpool’s price range is a harder task in this market than in any other.

Nevertheless, in the final edition of the series, here are five potential options that have been linked and could perform at Anfield.
