The Liverpool fans here in the Transfer Tavern are hoping to see Jurgen Klopp build on what is turning out to be a successful season.

Liverpool are one of the most dangerous sides in Europe on their day, and our regulars have watched in shock as they have dominated their opposition over the last few weeks. Although the start of the season was a little bit rocky, after the signing of Virgil van Dijk, it seems to have steadied the ship ever so slightly – and that’s all they needed.

Klopp and FSG should be looking at a few key areas to build upon this summer, as the team that they have created can only go from strength to strength if the right players are brought in. Our barman thinks The Reds could go for the title next year – especially if they were to bring in a few players to make that little bit better.

Improvements are needed in a few positions, so the Liverpool owners have their work cut out to have a productive summer.

Our landlord takes a look at what two players FSG need to bring Klopp this summer…

Alisson

The Roma keeper has been on Klopp’s radar since the turn of the year. Klopp desperately needs a number one between the sticks on a permanent basis. Much of the up and down form in the first half of the season was down to the confusion of who was playing behind the defence on match day.

For Klopp to mount a serious challenge, the Brazilian number one has got to be high on the shopping list in the summer.

He is far more consistent than both Loris Karius and Simon Mignolet, and just like Virgil van Dijk, the Brazilian could make the difference to take the Reds to the next level.

Harry Maguire

The English centre-back would fit perfectly into Klopp’s side. Alongside Virgil Van Dijk this pairing would have it all. Maguire likes to play out from the back and dribble when possible into the midfield to start the counter-attack.

With Klopp’s gung-ho tactics and the focus very much on attacking, a signing like the Leicester defender could be the final piece of the jigsaw.

Powerful, consistent and defensively solid – he ticks all the boxes.
