Liverpool have thrown a lot of money at their forward line in recent transfer windows, and some feel it is still unbalanced and incomplete.
Despite the 2027 January transfer window being months away, it hasn’t stopped rumours from circulating who could be Andoni Iraola’s next target in his bid to revive the Anfield giants.
Brentford’s versatile forward Kevin Schade, who has made a blistering start to the new Premier League season, has popped up on Liverpool’s radar, according to TEAMtalk.
So, Rousing the Kop had a look at Schade’s Premier League form, amid links to the 20-time English league champions.

Kevin Schade’s stats for Brentford
It could be argued that last season, when Brentford sold Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, Schade came to life in an attacking sense.
Despite Keith Andrews’ side being one of the favourites for relegation, the London outfit narrowly missed out on European football, with Schade playing a key role on the left flank and as a centre forward.

One huge positive about Schade is his availability. He would have played every single game last season, only to miss out on three matches because of suspension.

In that sense, it’s a tick in the box for Iraola, but many will then be screaming that his end product and quality still isn’t high enough, not forgetting that another left-sided attacker isn’t needed.
Despite that, Liverpool legend Jurgen Klopp has called up Schade to his Germany squad, so it will be interesting to see how the 24-year-old progresses from there, including playing alongside Florian Wirtz.
Plus, after five league games this season, Schade has a Sofascore rating of 7.54, including playing 45 minutes as the Bees but six past Birmingham City in the League Cup.
