Former Reds star reveals which area of the pitch Klopp will strengthen first

Former Reds player Gary Gillespie believes Jurgen Klopp has identified midfield as the key area needing strengthening this summer.

The Liverpool legend also thinks his old club have already lined up targets for the next transfer window as Klopp seeks to bolster his squad options.

In a recent radio appearance, Gillespie spoke about the recent win over Tottenham and shared his thoughts on Liverpool’s transfer policy.

“Any time you’re in a situation like this when you’re neck and neck with Manchester City, it’s vital that you’re in the game right until the end,” Gillespie said.

“Liverpool have got these sorts of players but [Sadio] Mane was a bit quiet yesterday.

“You had flashes but he has been the one inspiration this season that has taken up the mantle.

“There’s always that little bit of brilliance within him or the likes of Firmino, just that one turn or little pass, which can be the difference. We have got players there.

“I would just like to see them have a couple more players in the middle of the park with that sort of ability to change a game.

“I’m sure Jurgen has identified that and come the summer, that might be where you strengthen, that area of the pitch.”

He added: “[Winning when playing badly] is the mark of a championship-winning side.

“How many times did we see Manchester United do that in their pomp?

“At times, you look at these sorts of scenarios and think ‘yes, they didn’t play very well and yes they were exceptionally lucky at the end’.

“But that’s what it takes sometimes to win the Premier League. Right throughout the season, you’re going to have a balance.

“Sometimes you’re going to play well and not get the result, but sometimes you’re going to play poorly and get that little bit of luck.”
