Jordan Henderson has backed Liverpool's new-look forward line to get them challenging for the top honours once more next season.
The Reds have forked close to £140m since January 2022 to bring Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo to Anfield
the trio could eventually cost the club as much as £179m if all add-ons are achieved.
Henderson feels an "exciting" blend up top will be vital from next term.
Jordan Henderson:
"I think the performances have been a lot better [of late], controlling games a lot more and defending better as a team," Henderson told Sky Sports. "The energy levels look a lot better. Again, there are different reasons for that and we just look a lot more like ourselves with and without the ball. We all know when we are ourselves that we can beat any team that we play. But it's about doing that more on a consistent basis and that is what we need to get back to.
"Things evolve all the time and we've had new players come into that forward line and they are very exciting players. And there are a lot of different things we can use and different personnel that can do different things really. So, yeah, it is really exciting and it's just about putting that together to make it the best version of the team. We have a lot of quality players that can go up front and all of them can score goals, so we need to use that to our advantage next season."
The Reds skipper added: "It's been a bit of a roller coaster for us this season to be honest. We've probably struggled to find consistency for the majority of it. We've had some brilliant days and brilliant games, but just not enough really. And then obviously in the middle of that you've had the World Cup, so it's been a bit of a crazy season, for everyone really.
"But thankfully we've managed to stay together and the last few weeks have been a bit better and we've looked a lot more like us. So hopefully we can finish the season off strong and then carry that into next season.
