Liverpool's dream team with Ekitike and Isak

Ekitike and Isak could make Liverpool's attack extremely strong.

This summer, "The Kop" has been active in the transfer market, spending more than 300 million pounds to bring in Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong and Hugo Ekitike. However, Liverpool are said to be ready to explode another "blockbuster" Alexander Isak from Newcastle.

The Swede wants to leave St James' Park. He did not participate in the pre-season tour of Asia and has left the possibility of joining Liverpool open. If both Ekitike and Isak arrive at Anfield, coach Slot will have an extremely strong squad and will face the problem of arranging positions appropriately.

Under Slot, Liverpool could continue to use their familiar 4-3-3 formation. With this formation, Isak will replace Darwin Nunez as the striker, while Ekitike will support from the left. This will help Liverpool somewhat fill the void left by Luis Diaz if he leaves. Meanwhile, Cody Gakpo becomes a quality option from the bench.

In defense, coach Slot will have to change when Trent Alexander-Arnold leaves and Andrew Robertson is no longer young. Liverpool brought in Kerkez and Frimpong, players who can replace the duo on the wings.

If Marc Guehi joins from Crystal Palace, Liverpool's defense will be more solid, and Guehi can partner Virgil van Dijk in the center when needed. For now, the center-back duo is still Ibrahima Konate and Van Dijk.

Liverpool's optimal formation in the new season.

It is impossible not to mention Wirtz, the most expensive new player in Liverpool's transfer history. With a fee of 116.5 million pounds, Wirtz will take on the role of an attacking midfielder, connecting the midfielders and the attack. He will coordinate with Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch to create strength in the midfield.

Alternatively, Slot could experiment with a new formation, like a 3-5-2, to get the most out of Isak and Ekitike. This would give Kerkez and Frimpong more freedom as full-backs. Robertson could also play as a left-sided centre-back, giving Salah a chance to rest when needed.

With these ideal additions, Liverpool strengthens their formidable squad and creates flexibility in tactics. "The Kop" promises to be ready to defend the Premier League title and go far in the Champions League season 2025/26.
