According to Carragher, it is a must for Liverpool to sign another forward to ease the transition from Salah, Mane and Firmino.
Just as highlighted from last season, goals can dry up even across the most prolific of forward line. And now, the likes of Mo Salah and Sadio Mane needed by their countries for the upcoming African Cup of Nations, Liverpool should be aware it is time to bring in the reinforcements.
Given the rigid transfer policy at Anfield, it remains unlikely that Klopp will be allowed to splurge on a striker in January. This means a big summer move could and should be in the offing.
At least this is what club legend Jamie Carragher believes they are the steps his former club should be taking.
Speaking of Liverpool’s prolific attacking line, Carragher said, “these players are all getting to 30 and you don’t want the entire team to age at the same time”.
“At some stage, the front three and other areas of the team will need breaking up. You don’t necessarily break it up because it’s started so fantastically well this season. and though Jota has made an impact, I’d like to see one more”.
Given the club’s remarkably impressive record in the transfer department over the past few years, it seems only natural that the Reds’ data gurus will be all over the situation and will be honing in on the next target, who Carragher feels they so badly need.
But who could that player be?
Liverpool is looking for a forward who fits the bill in terms of style, quality and availability. As such some of the rumored stars could be Jeremy Doku from Rennes, Jonathan David-Lille, Raphinha-Leeds, Ismaila Sarr-Watford and Erling Haaland-Borussia Dortmund
