Theo Walcott
With Raheem Sterling looking as though he has his heart set on a move to London, Arsenal’s Theo Walcott seems to be the closes thing the Reds could find to a like-for-like replacement.
With Arsenal having been linked with Sterling, Liverpool may look to negotiate a deal that would see England international Walcott move in the opposite direction.
The Reds have been linked with him in the past, and Walcott is looking for a club capable of offering regular first team football having lost his starting spot at the Emirates after 12 months out injured.

Ok, if we look at the options. Arsenal get Sterling give us £20m and pay off QPR. So plus £20m, buy Carvalho for £25m, minus £5m, Lacazette £35m so minus £40m, Higuain £30m so minus £70m and finally Clynne, another £20m so at least minus £90m if not £100m.
If you look at who goes, Balotelli £10m, Borini £10m, Lambert £4m, Lucas £8m, be prepared to sell Allen £10m so about minus £48-£58m, possibly throw in players like Aspas, Wisdom, Albert and you may get another £15m so for me it works if the world spins exactly the way Liverpool wants it to.
Not likely to happen.
