There was plenty of promise surrounding Dominic Solanke when he secured a move to Liverpool from Chelsea in 2017.
However, the striker’s progress at Anfield has been slow-moving as he is struggling to earn a spot in Jurgen Klopp’s team.
In fact, the 21-year-old has made just 27 appearances for the first team, scoring one goal and creating a single assist.
It was widely suggested during the summer transfer window that Solanke should seek a loan move for the 2018-19 season, but he ended up staying put at Liverpool.
The attacker, who is valued at £9m by Transfermarkt, has not been included in the squad for any Premier League game so far this season.
The only time that he has been named in a matchday group was for Liverpool’s EFL Cup 2-1 defeat to Chelsea, in which Solanke did not come off the bench.
