The Liverpool supporters who are regular drinkers here in the Transfer Tavern were in great spirits last weekend as the Reds returned to form with a stunning 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield.

Sadio Mane netted twice to down a rampant Spurs and Liverpool’s main aim for the rest of the season has to be to secure one of four Champions League places.

German boss Jurgen Klopp is hopeful that one day he can win a first Premier League title for Liverpool, but his squad will need lots of work if that dream is to be realised.

A couple of Liverpool supporters are sat sharing a bottle of the landlord’s famous malt whiskey and they think that the club aren’t a million miles away, stating that a few additions in the summer could make them contenders next year.

Lee Clarke looks at three summer signings who Liverpool should be thinking about signing already.

Michael Keane

Liverpool are in desperate need of a central defender who is understanding of the demands of the English game and Keane would offer that.

Keane has been in fine form for Burnley this season and he looks destined to play for a bigger club at some stage in his career.

One Liverpool fan is sat chatting to the landlord here in the Tavern and he thinks that Keane would be a class signing, stating that the club should do all they can to sign the youngster.

Jack Butland

Another area that Liverpool really need to address is between the posts and a new goalkeeper is a must in the summer.

England stopped Butland hasn’t played for Stoke City this season thanks to a troublesome ankle injury but he is nearing ever closer to full fitness.

One Liverpool fan is sat with his pals munching on a bag of dry roasted peanuts and he thinks that until the Reds sign a goalkeeper they can kiss goodbye to any hopes of winning the league.

Marco Reus

If Liverpool should secure a place in next season’s Champions League then it opens the door to the club attracting a better calibre of player.

The Reds’ number one target should be Reus if they do finish in the top four and Klopp would relish a reunion with the German.

A couple of Liverpool fans are sat at the bar chatting to the landlord and they think that until the club can secure players of Reus’ ability, then they won’t be able to get near the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City.
