Jarrod Bowen continues to fuel transfer interest from Liverpool thanks to his ferocious form.
The West Ham United hot shot scored and assisted in the Irons' 2-2 draw at Leicester City on Sunday, meaning he has had a direct hand in 16 Premier League goals this season.
Only Mohamed Salah - with an incredible 25 contributions - boasts more, with the Reds talisman yet to commit his future at Anfield.
Understandably, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is planning for the future, having already signed Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz in the past two seasons in a bid to replenish his forward line.
Klopp is a self-confessed fan of Bowen's, admitting ahead of the two teams' clash earlier this season: "I like Bowen a lot. He made his way up from Hull and took not too long to show exactly what kind of player he can be in the Premier League. He made big steps."

While Klopp has remained calm in public over Salah's future, fears persist on Merseyside that the Egyptian could leave when his contract expires at the end of next season.
It goes without saying that West Ham boss David Moyes is keen to keep Bowen and prevent him from replacing Salah on Merseyside, having tipped him for an England call-up.
"When players come from the Championship you hope they will develop and Jarrod has taken to it really well," Moyes said in January.
"Now the biggest thing is that he's added assists and he's beginning to find the net again. It's great we're spreading the goals around and he's made a big difference.
"When you look at the competition for England; Marcus Rashford, Raheem Sterling, Jack Grealish, Jadon Sancho – it's a decision for Gareth Southgate.
"But he's getting closer to people saying we should have a look at him and see what he can do. I don't think he'll be too far away, but the biggest thing is to keep playing well for West Ham."
In a boost for Klopp, the 25-year-old looks up to Salah, so would potentially be interested in signing as the Reds winger's understudy.
"Mo Salah is the perfect example," Bowen told the Evening Standard after being asked which players he takes inspiration from. "The goals he scores and assists he gets, the impact he has on games and consistently doing it every season since he joined Liverpool.
"He is definitely one that I look at and I think he is one of the best players in the world at the moment. As a player you always want to look at people in a similar position to yours and learn from them."
