Race heats up for Liverpool SUPERSTAR
Liverpool's attacking depth is the stuff of dreams.
Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz are the main left-wingers, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez are the main options at striker and Mohamed Salah is backed up by Federico Chiesa at right-wing, while several of the midfield players can be rotated into a forward role.

As such, 19-year-old Jayden Danns finds himself in a tricky position, having broken out of the academy set-up, showcasing what he can do when given the chance to play with the first team while struggling to earn himself further minutes under Arne Slot.
If he is to earn regular game time, then it seems incredibly likely that for the remainder of this season, he will have to find a club to join on loan, but the decision as to which team would like to join is only getting harder as more and more Championship sides declare their interest.
Four more sides join the race for Danns
It has already been made clear that Stoke City are interested in bringing the young striker in on a short-term basis, and that brings the exciting prospect of Danns meeting up with his fellow Liverpool academy loanee Lewis Koumas.
The attacking duo could reignite the rampant attacking partnership they developed together for Liverpool's youth set-up and the Reds could potentially be the beneficiaries of a whole new range of attacking depth to analyse next season.
However, according to Football League World, there are even more teams in the Championship that are interested in utilising Liverpool's hot talent to fuel a push to avoid relegation.
Exclusively revealed by their sources, the report claims that Hull City, Preston North End, Blackburn Rovers and Oxford United have joined the race, although this would require Liverpool to be open to allowing Danns to leave Anfield this winter for a loan move.
Darren Witcoop also believes that Plymouth Argyle - Liverpool's upcoming FA Cup fourth-round opponents - and Cardiff City have enquired about his availability.
Arne Slot is still undecided on the best way to proceed with the youngster as Liverpool are not short of attacking flare, although Jota is injury-prone and Darwin Nunez is struggling to make a positive impact this season.
It is clear that regular minutes on the pitch are what is necessary for Danns to progress his career rather than a series of cameos throughout the remainder of the season in Liverpool's senior setup.
But at the end of the day, Arne Slot will have the final say on how best he wants to utilise him, and Danns will subsequently have his pick of the bunch if the opportunity of a loan move comes his way.
