Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp told the two positions he needs to strengthen this summer
Former Liverpool star Jason McAteer thinks Jurgen Klopp must strengthen two positions this summer to continue the Reds’ dominance across all of European football.
Liverpool have won the Champions League and Club World Cup over the past 12 months.
They are also on course to win the Premier League title once the campaign gets back underway next month.
However, to maintain their stronghold McAteer thinks Klopp must add another attacker and a left-back to the squad.
He claims the reliance on Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane could be costly if they get injured or suspended.
And McAteer reckons Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho, who is valued at £100million, is the perfect fit.
“Sancho will be a great acquisition,” McAteer told beIN SPORTS. “I think Liverpool should go out and buy him.
“He can be a great player for Liverpool and I think we need to take pressure off the front three.”
McAteer also explained why a back-up is needed for full-back Andy Robertson.
“I think Robo, he will benefit from this mess [coronavirus break],” he added.
“You can’t ask James Milner to slot in there and Joe Gomez to slot in there – maybe bring in someone else to cover him and put a bit of pressure on.
“We have got strength in most areas really.”
Liverpool have been strongly linked with RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner, who has a release clause of £52m.
“It’s whether he is the right fit,” McAteer said of the German. “We know Jurgen doesn’t just venture into the transfer market to buy a superstar just because someone is available or because he has got money in his pocket.
“He has got to meet a criteria and a work ethic and a style of play.
“I feel Sancho is more of that criteria than Timo Werner is but Sancho might have out-priced himself for what Liverpool want.
“He might want to go to United, which is the talk at the minute. Timo Werner might be the player we go for if we don’t get Sancho.”
