Is a clinical striker the missing piece to Motherwell's puzzle?
The Steelmen are currently fourth in the Premiership, two points behind Celtic above and eight off leaders Hearts, albeit having played a game more.
With just 30 goals in 21 games, Motherwell are the lowest scorers in the top five.
And Scottish coach and analyst John Walker suggests the lack of a potent finisher is preventing the Steelmen being serious title contenders.
"If Motherwell had a goalscorer they would be in a title race," Walker told the BBC’s Scottish Football Podcast.
"If Motherwell had Lawrence Shankland in their team there's no reason why, if everyone stays fit, they couldn't go for the title.
"I've not seen many teams do to Celtic what Motherwell did. Teams have beaten Celtic recently in the last few years, but I've never seen anyone play Celtic off the park for 60 minutes the way they did.
"Motherwell are the only team this year that I think have made Hearts look bang average for 70 minutes and look defensively all over the place.
"If they got a goalscorer, I'd be more convinced it is a proper four-horse race. I think right now Motherwell are maybe an injury to Elliot Watt or Elijah Just away from going through a sticky spell."
