50-goal forward likened to Zlatan Ibrahimovic set to join Liverpool first-team

50-goal forward likened to Zlatan Ibrahimovic set to join Liverpool first-team An exciting forward is on his way to joining Liverpool's first-team. The forward line is the one area where Andoni Iraola is doing just fine. Alexander Isak is back to his fine form, and we are finally seeing why Liverpool paid so much money to sign the Swedish attacker. On top of that, Cody Gakpo has also been unstoppable since the start of the season, and he can deputise in that role. If all else, fails there's Lewis Koumas, who still needs to refine his actions but whose energy and work-rate brings a lot of intensity and the best out of his teammates. Hugo Ekitike will soon be on his way back as well, and that is going to give Liverpool a major boost. Ekitike could even play as a no.10 behind Isak and provide competition for Florian Wirtz. Liverpool's exciting attacking plans Supporters still haven't seen the best of Liverpool's attack just yet. It will take time to reach the what Iraola wants from an attacking perspective. But the good news is that some of the key players have been contributing. Naturally as Bradley Barcola comes to grips with the Premier League and Rio Ngumoha matures as a player, Liverpool will have even more of an edge going forward. Right now, behind the scenes Liverpool are also planning another addition to bolster the right-side of the attack. There are several candidates who have been sought out. And there will be new additions coming like Djylian N'Guessan who is extremely highly rated, and who will give Liverpool further depth. He won't join the club until 2027, but there's another exciting forward who is on his way to the first-team very soon. Will Wright to train with Andoni Iraola Towards the latter stages of this three week international break Liverpool's players who are not on international duty are expected to return and participate in training sessions with Iraola. To bolster numbers for these sessions, Iraola is expected to call-up several players from the U21 team, and one of those will be Will Wright. The 18-year-old has not been called-up by England's youth national teams despite scoring six goals in six matches for the Reds' U21 side this season. It means, he will get the chance to join the first-team instead and showcase his qualities in front of Iraola. The striker scored 50-goals for Salford City at youth level the season prior to coming to the Reds, and he is a player who is already on Iraola's radar having been part of the training camp in pre-season. This will be an opportunity for him to show he's developed even more since the summer. It is believed Iraola is keeping a close eye on his progress.
