Four players who could solve Liverpool's striker crisis

3. Theo Walcott

Theo Walcott has developed into a clinical finisher and could form a great partnership with Sturridge

Yes, Theo freaking Walcott. Remember the deal on offered for Raheem Sterling according to reports? The exchange of Kieran Gibbs plus Theo Walcott for the greedy boy in Red? Well, why isn’t it happening?

If Rodgers needs more competition for Alberto Moreno at left-back and thinks Flanno isn’t up for it, there’s Kieran Gibbs. If Rodgers needs a new striker, there’s Theo Walcott who is now a clinical finisher himself having taken finishing lessons from the great Thierry Henry.

It looks like Theo has already been around forever, but he is still and only 26 this year. With Sturridge and Walcott upfront, Liverpool will boast the fastest and most exhilarating partnership in the Premier League. He only has 12 months left to his current £90,000-a-week deal and his future at Arsenal is undoubtedly in doubt, but for now the fans can only pray for the deal to come through.
