Liverpool are currently shy of quality in depth in the final third. We need to reinforce our attack whilst also identifying successors for an ageing front line. Twitter has reacted to claims Liverpool are hoping to sign Jeremy Doku this summer.
Lack of depth
The front three will all turn 30-years-old before the start of next season.
Our much famed and feared attacking trident only have cover and competition in the form of Diogo Jota.
The Portugal star is the only one effectively covering each of the three positions – Divock Origi and Xherdan Shaqiri have proven they aren’t up to the task.
When you couple the lack of depth with the age of the starting three then you get a picture of why we need reinforcements up top.
