• Mohamed Salah leaving after Luis Díaz not replaced

• Leipzig teenager Yan Diomande is a leading target

Arne Slot has highlighted the ­importance of wingers to Liverpool’s prospects of recovery, and claimed this season’s disappointment can be rectified with the correct squad additions.

Liverpool ended a difficult campaign by qualifying for the Champions League but also with their lowest points total and goals scored since 2015-16, a season in which Brendan Rodgers was sacked and replaced by Jürgen Klopp. A sharp decline in goals and assists from wide areas was a factor, with Liverpool failing to replace Luis Díaz, and Mohamed Salah’s impact diminishing in his final season at the club.
