#3 Donyell Malen | PSV Eindhoven
Another Dutch international on the list, Donyell Malen is also familiar with English football, having represented Arsenal's famous Hale End academy. The 22-year-old was sold prematurely by the Gunners in the summer of 2017, as he returned to the Netherlands to join PSV Eindhoven.
Malen has taken the Eredivisie by storm in the past two seasons, with his devastating pace and dribbling ability terrorizing opposition defenders. Several top clubs across the continent have taken notice of his progress, with Liverpool set to be on the long list of his admirers.
Malen has notched up 23 goals and eight assists for PSV this season and is likely to move on in the coming months. At the age of 22, he has his whole career ahead of him and could be an intriguing addition to Liverpool's front line.
#2 Erling Haaland | Borussia Dortmund
To put things bluntly, any manager in the world would bite your hands off to have a player like Erling Haaland lead the line. The Norwegian sensation has enjoyed an astronomical rise to stardom in the past 18 months, having burst onto the scene at RB Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga.
Haaland's stunning goalscoring exploits in the UEFA Champions League saw him turn heads across the continent, with as many as 10 European giants declaring their interest in him.
In the 2020-21 season, the 21-year-old has scored a staggering 33 goals in 31 appearances for Borussia Dortmund and has made a name for himself as one of the most feared attackers in world football.
Super agent Mino Raiola reportedly had meetings with representatives from Real Madrid and Barcelona in recent days, with clubs across the world scrambling for his signature. Liverpool are unlikely to cough up the cash to secure his signature, but as far as strikers go, they won't find too many better players on the market than the towering Norwegian.
#1 Kylian Mbappe
Hailed as one of the most prodigious talents of the 21st century, Kylian Mbappe has already enjoyed a stunning career for club and country. The 22-year-old has already won countless trophies in Ligue 1 and the FIFA World Cup with France in 2018, as he looks set to become one of the most decorated players of all time.
Renowned for his explosive pace, dribbling ability and finishing, Mbappe is the dream inside forward for any team in the world. The Frenchman has excelled in different positions across the forward line for Paris Saint-Germain and France and could well be the final piece of Liverpool's attacking jigsaw.
In the 2020-21 season, the former Monaco man recorded 30 goals and nine assists for the Ligue 1 champions, including a famous hat-trick against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 stage.
Mbappe is believed to be desperate for a move to Real Madrid, but Liverpool could throw a spanner in the works if they manage to convince the Frenchman that Anfield is the perfect destination to fulfill his outrageous potential.
