LIVERPOOL’S four-man transfer shortlist to replace their misfiring front three includes Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish, according to Stan Collymore.
The former Reds striker, 50, also believes Barcelona sensation Ansu Fati and AZ Alkmaar forward Myron Boadu are being monitored by the Anfield club.

There is growing speculation Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane will leave the club this summer with Robbie Fowler urging his former side to ‘cash in’.
Collymore took to Twitter following Sunday’s shock defeat to Fulham – the reigning champions’ SIXTH home loss on the spin.
He wrote: “Have wondered for a while whether RF/MS/SM have come to a natural end at Liverpool and whether the club are well down the line at not only realising that but actively looking for a younger, hungrier versions.
“Something doesn’t look right though.
“LFC front 3 have won the lot and may fancy Madrid, Bayern or Juve for a new challenge.
“So don’t discount an overhaul being at least being whispered at LFC.
“Haaland, Grealish, Fati (Barca completely skint) Boadu (couple of Dutch coaches I know love this kid) all on a list.”
Salah, Firmino and Mane have a combined 26 Premier League goals this season – with Salah getting 17 of them, but just one in his last five, and neither of the others scoring since January 28.

Borussia Dortmund’s 20-year-old hitman Haaland, a target for Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea and the two Manchester clubs, boasts an incredible tally of 29 goals in 28 club appearances – and brought up his 100th senior goal this weekend.
Grealish, 25, is widely regarded among England’s best creative talents and favours playing on the left in the Aston Villa attack – his tally of ten assists and 79 chances created is well ahead of the Liverpool trio.
Teenager Fati, 18, continues to break plenty of Lionel Messi and LaLiga records as the youngster makes his mark in the Barcelona team.
And Boadu, 20, has attracted attention with 27 goals in 65 first-team appearances for AZ – as well as a goal on his senior international debut for the Netherlands.
Jurgen Klopp, however, is confident the trio who have helped deliver so much success at Anfield are going nowhere.
He said: “That is nothing we have to worry about. It was always like this. I know we have loyalty from the players.
“It is not a situation where a player in the squad says we are not in the Champions League so I have to leave.
“That will not happen. I know them well enough to know that.”
