Arne Slot has received a warning from former England striker Jermain Defoe on his possible attack options at Liverpool for the upcoming season. After Feyenoord and Slot agreed on a compensation package for the Dutchman, Slot is ready to take over at Anfield.

Though an announcement is not anticipated until the end of the season, he has made no secret of his ambition to take over at Liverpool. There are two games left for both teams this season, and Liverpool is getting ready to say goodbye to Jürgen Klopp.

The Reds have scored an amazing 81 goals in the Premier League, but a lack of efficiency in front of goal has caused their title challenge to crumble during the last month. Darwin Núñez is one figure who has frequently been the subject of attention.

The Uruguayan had a fantastic first half to the season, but since then, his play has suffered and he has only scored one goal—a very fortunate one in the victory over Sheffield United—in the last two months.

After receiving unfair criticism, he began the previous two games for Liverpool from the bench and removed anything connected to the club from his social media profiles this week. Núñez also banned other accounts belonging to Liverpool supporters.

Due to his social media activity, there has been much conjecture about his future at Liverpool. Mundo Deportivo, a Spanish website, has reported that he is eager to sign with Barcelona this summer. Núñez is rumored to be Robert Lewandowski’s possible successor at the Nou Camp.

Although there’s no sign Liverpool wants to let him go, Defoe thinks the squad needs a more effective finisher for the upcoming campaign, someone like Diogo Jota. Jota is arguably the best finisher, in my opinion. He does finish, but his finishes are deliberate. However, if that makes sense, Núñez and Salah shoot,” he said to Premier League Productions.

“The chances are coming consistently but when you miss them — and you are competing against Man City and Arsenal, whose players are converting the chances — you are going to fall behind.”

With 25 and 18, respectively, Salah and Núñez are leading scorers for Liverpool this year. Salah’s contract only has a year left, thus his future is likewise up in the air. At the end of the season, Saudi Pro League clubs are probably going to get interested again.
