At this moment in time, the solution appears to be Federico Chiesa. However, Slot doesn't entirely seem to trust the Italian. Chiesa struggles to get on the pitch, even though when he does play, he normally catches the eye.
Observes often wonder what more he needs to do in order to get in Slot's good books. For one reason or another he just simply isn't fancied by the manager.
We don't quite know why that is. But it does mean there is a spot for someone else to grab as the back-up no.9 to Ekitike and Isak, and there's no better candidate for this role than Jayden Danns.
He's an exciting forward in the club's academy, who has in flashes shown what he can do at first-team level as well.
Danns is now working closely with the club's U21 coach Rob Page who announced that he believes the Liverpool youngster is good enough to be England's first-choice no.9 in the future.
