This is getting a little creepy as Michy Batshuayi completes the hat trick of 22-year-old players on this list. Jokes aside, Liverpool need a striker. While Daniel Sturridge is a fine striker, his proneness to injury means that he can’t be relied upon for the whole campaign.

Hence, signing a striker who can consistently bang in goals is an absolute must for the Reds. And Michy Batshuayi provides just that.

There are many other strikers out there who are in good touch and could have been considered. So what makes him stand out among them? The Belgian is a complete package – someone who is tall, fast, good with the ball and great at linking his team-mates to play.

This is the reason why he is so highly rated. The last time Jurgen Klopp had a striker like that at his disposal, he won the Bundesliga with Dortmund and only lost out to Bayern in the final of the Champions League. Batshuayi could just be his new Robert Lewandowski.
