Special Liverpool wonderkid lined up to replace Luis Diaz AND Darwin Nunez

Players are going to leave the club this summer.

This is a guarantee before every transfer window, but this time around Liverpool are not expected to mess around.

Richard Hughes is planning an era-defining overhaul in the Reds' attack as revealed exclusively by Anfield Watch.

At the same time, the new Liverpool sporting director is also planning on making changes in defence with a left-back and a centre-back eyed.

And this is just the beginning. There could be other moves that Liverpool are forced into making based on how the window pans out.

One thing is very much guaranteed and that's the fact that Liverpool are open to listening to offers for both Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez.

There aren't any surprises over the latter, Nunez's time at Anfield should be up this summer. Diaz is bit more of an enigma. He's brilliant when he's at his best, but he can be inconsistent.

Keeping him at the club would make sense if he was not entering the final two years of his deal and if he wasn't desperate to sign a much more lucrative extension that Liverpool simply don't want to offer him.

That's why selling him might make more sense as Liverpool look to build for the future. One player who is learning a lot from Diaz is a promising young talent in the club's academy.

Josh Sonni-Lambie has been Liverpool's most exciting young prospect in what has been a disappointing year for the academy.

Now the 17-year-old has given an interview to Liverpool's official website where he has revealed that he looks up to Diaz.

"He's not really my position but I look up to Luis Diaz," Sonni-Lambie said. "He's a very skilful player and he just excites me a lot. Just the way he can take on his man."

Sonni-Lambie is an interesting profile. He's been playing as a forward for Liverpool's U18 side and he's very much in the mould of Roberto Firmino.

A technically sound player, Sonni-Lambie can play with his back to goal and he can also take players on in tight spaces. He's good at finding openings inside the box and he will put in a lot of the hard-work off the ball as well.

A lot of his technical qualities come from growing up playing street football in London before being spotted as a 14-year-old by the Reds.

He's got that drive and determination as well that characterised Firmino and which would make him an ideal fit for Slot's first team.

That step is perhaps a couple of years down the line but Sonni-Lambie is clearly one to watch given his qualities and given the fact that there will be attacking vacancies in the first team this summer.

If Diaz and Nunez leave, he could easily come in and replace both of them during the pre-season campaign - inadvertently he could in the process get himself higher in the pecking order in the first team.

While, primarily Sonni-Lambie's best role is as a striker what aids him is that he can also play out wide in that left-wing role.

He's a very efficient dribbler who averages four dribblers per 90 in the U18 Premier League and completes over 56% - very much in the mould of Diaz based on the numbers at least.

In his interview with Liverpool's official website, Sonni-Lambie suggested he could play other positions.

"I've always played in an attacking position. I used to play as a central attacking midfielder and I can also play off the left wing. But I've always been an attacking player," he said.

"My best qualities I would say are definitely dribbling, driving with the ball and combining with my teammates in and around the box."

Despite losing 5-0 against Man City recently, Sonni-Lambie still managed to complete four dribbles from four dribble attempts in that game and looked very lively.

In 29 games at academy level this season, Sonni-Lambie has 17 goal contributions - which is really impressive considering the U18s have been in really poor form.

He's now playing regularly for England at U18 level as well and it's clear he's the next one through the club's impressive production line.

With his ability to create space and score goals, he has a very bright future ahead of himself in the game and it's well worth keeping an eye on his progress.
