Liverpool must sign this type of player in the summer transfer window - pundit
RIO FERDINAND believes Liverpool still lack an attacking player who can break open rigid defences.
Steven Gerrard passionately celebrates Liverpool goal
Liverpool ended a run of three straight home defeats with a 1-1 draw against league leaders Chelsea last night.
The point ended a torrid month for Jurgen Klopp's side in which they have been knocked out of both the FA Cup and EFL Cup.
Liverpool still lead the league in scoring but they have only netted nine times in their last 10 matches in all competitions.
Rio Ferdinand believes Liverpool need more firepower
Philippe Coutinho hasn't scored for Liverpool since the start of November
And Ferdinand expects Klopp to add some more firepower to his squad when the transfer window re-opens in the summer.
"They need that cutting edge still," Ferdinand told BT Sport.
"When you look at them sometimes going forward, other than Coutinho and Firmino a little bit, they lack that little bit of devilment in the box."
Liverpool will be aiming to register their first league win since December when they take on Hull this Saturday.
Hull are currently rooted to the bottom of the table and fighting for survival.
Liverpool ran out comfortable 5-1 winners earlier in the season with James Milner scoring twice from the penalty spot alongside goals from Adam Lallana, Sadio Mane and Coutinho.
