We have made a number of attacking signings this summer, with the likes of Christian Benteke, Danny Ings, and even Roberto Firmino capable of starting up top.

Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli has rejected the chance to take an Anfield escape route by confirming he will not be joining Italian third division side Lupa Castelli say the Express.
The Italian minnows had offered a cheeky lifeline to the controversial striker.
The 24-year-old is now training with the Reds back at their Melwood training ground, having not traveled to Asia for their pre-season tour.
Sampdoria have previously been linked with a move, and Ferrero discussed the Italian worldwide again at the Serie A fixture list presentation.
However, honorary president Marco Amelia believes the move could be very positive for the former Manchester City forward and significantly aid his quest to revitalise a stalling career and prove himself while also rebuilding a rapidly faltering reputation.
According to Goal.com, Sampdoria are keen on signing Balotelli but want the Reds to reduce their asking price to €10m (£7.1m) before doing business.
With the influx of so many players to the club though, it is clear that Rodgers will need to offload a few who are surplus to requirements at the club and one man who seems all but certain to be shown the door is Mario Balotelli.
“I’ll try to call Mario Balotelli“.
“It will be tough, it will be nearly impossible as it is something that football has never seen, but he could do it”.

“Mario Balotelli costs €10m, but with a discount we await him with open arms”, Ferrero said.
