Anfield Watch understands a true overhaul of the forward line is planned, with several first-team regulars on their way out. Naturally, that means quite a few would need to come in.

Liverpool will draw up several options for each role, though where the particular attention goes depends on Mo Salah. The Reds may or may not need to replace the Egyptian but whether they lose his goals changes everything.

One thing we know for sure, though, is that Liverpool want youth. They always want youth.

Players who can come in, develop across a year or two or three and then hit their prime. That's what made Jurgen Klopp's squad so successful - a series of incredible talents all hitting their peak years at the same time.

Liverpool will want to recreate that. They've already got several young players in the first-team right now - players who appear destined for the very top.

And they've now got a green light to sign another one.

Jamie Gittens is available

Liverpool do have a chance to sign Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund. This has been a breakout season for the winger, leading to an incredible amount of interest in him.

As Sky Germany reports, Liverpool are one of the clubs hoping to sign Gittens. But that's not all - the stars are aligning here.

Bayern Munich would also like to sign Gittens but Dortmund are eager not to sell to their rivals. On top of that, the Sky report mentions that the player himself is eager to return to English football.

Liverpool, then, find themselves in a very powerful position. The other English clubs - Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur - are all struggling to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.

The Reds face no such struggle. They're the biggest dog in the fight here and there's even another reason for optimism.

Dortmund almost certainly won't qualify for the Champions League this season after a very poor domestic campaign. it leaves them needing to sell, with Gittens high on their list of outgoings.

Their £80m asking price has fallen dramatically as a result - they'd likely accept £50m, says Sky.

Honestly, Liverpool couldn't ask for more and it truly seems that if they want to sign Gittens, they can. Now comes the big decision.
