Liverpool transfer agreement now imminent for the next Harry Kane

There's a new Harry Kane, and a transfer for him is imminent at Liverpool.

There are plenty of brilliant strikers in world football right now, but surely nobody is operating at the same level as the current Ballon d'Or winner.

Kane is simply a phenomenal footballer. He's always been a ruthless goalscorer, but what makes Kane so special is that he's so much more than your traditional no.9.

His link-up play is exceptional. He can drop deep, dictate the tempo, pick out passes that most midfielders wouldn't even attempt and then somehow still find himself in the perfect position to score.

He's the complete package.

At Bayern Munich, Kane has taken his game to another level. His movement, intelligence and finishing ability make him an absolute nightmare for defenders.

And the frightening thing is that he doesn't rely on pace. His game is built around intelligence, technique and an extraordinary understanding of space.

There are younger, quicker strikers around, but very few can influence games in quite so many ways.

Right now, Kane is the benchmark.

Why Liverpool need another no.9 soon

Liverpool might have Alexander Isak scoring goals right now, and Hugo Ekitike is edging closer to his return from injury, but that doesn't necessarily mean the Reds are sorted in the striker department.

Far from it.

Isak is undoubtedly a world-class player on his day. However, his injury record remains a concern, and Liverpool simply cannot afford to rely on him staying fit throughout an entire season.

Meanwhile, Ekitike is coming back from a devastating Achilles injury. There's no guarantee he'll immediately return to his best, and Liverpool will need to manage his minutes carefully.

Looking at the bigger picture, the Reds need more depth and competition in attack.

Andoni Iraola's demanding system requires forwards who can press relentlessly, stretch defences and maintain intensity throughout matches.

Having just two recognised senior strikers isn't ideal.

Ultimately, if Liverpool want to compete on multiple fronts, bringing in another exciting young no.9 makes perfect sense.

Loan transfer agreement now imminent for next Harry Kane - Will Wright

Liverpool might already have their very own Harry Kane coming through the academy in Will Wright.

The youngster has been scoring goals for fun at youth level, and there's something about his profile that makes comparisons with the England captain particularly interesting.

Like Kane, Wright isn't just a goalscorer. He's an intelligent forward who can link up play, drop deep and bring his teammates into the game.

His movement inside the penalty area and natural finishing ability are also extremely impressive.

But perhaps the most intriguing connection is Alex Inglethorpe.

Liverpool's academy director previously worked closely with Kane at Tottenham and knows exactly what it takes to develop an elite striker.

Now he's overseeing Wright's development.

Could history repeat itself? Liverpool will certainly hope so.

And the next formative step which proved crucial in Kane's career now looks imminent for Wright, too.

That's because the Daily Mail are reporting that Liverpool are planning sending Wright on loan in January with a host of clubs interested in him.

Kane went on multiple loans before breaking through at Tottenham. Now a similar agreement is on the brink for Wright.
