How Liverpool could look on first day of the season with TWO new signings
LIVERPOOL could make some signings this summer, so how could they look on the opening day of the season?
Liverpool should sign Werner and Guedes claims Hutchinson
It remains unlikely that the Reds will make any high-profile acquisitions this summer.
Nothing can be written off though, seeing as Liverpool are keen to avenge falling short to Manchester City in last season’s Premier League.
Jurgen Klopp has gone against his word before when it came to signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, he will not be afraid to do it again should the right deal become available.
Liverpool remain open to signing an attacking midfielder.
They have not signed a replacement for Philippe Coutinho since he left for Barcelona in January 2018.
With the Brazilian struggling in Catalonia, why not bring him back?
If a cut-price deal is available, then it would be worth a chance if Klopp is willing to forgive Coutinho for wanting to leave.
He could line up on the left side of a midfield three, still playing central, but making the most of his devastating long shots.
Philippe Coutinho needs to do better says Craig Burley
That won’t upset the front three and will still allow them to continue as they have together for the past two seasons.
That’s with the view that Klopp won’t sign a striker.
He’s unlikely to do so, but it’s the only area of the squad he has not given attention since arriving at Anfield.
He maybe tempted in the future to sign a goalscorer and Timo Werner could be the man.
Firmino tailed off in the latter stages of last season and could do with some competition to keep him on his toes.
There’s no doubt that the back four and goalkeeper will remain untouched besides Joe Gomez replacing Joel Matip after returning to full fitness.
Fabinho and Jordan Henderson have done enough to warrant keeping their place in midfield too.
Klopp is likely to make a few smaller additions to the squad, to bolster his squad depth.
