Former Reds midfielder identifies two summer targets for Liverpool

Former Liverpool midfielder Don Hutchinson believes Liverpool should buy two attacking players to compete with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane next season.

Both Mane and Salah had a huge impact on the Champions League final on Saturday within the first two minutes of the game, with Mane winning a penalty inside thirty seconds that Salah converted.

Hutchinson, however, thinks Jurgen Klopp should look to add more firepower for next season, and has identified two players he believes would fit the bill.

“I would go for Timo Werner at RB Leipzig. It’s only a matter of time before Bayern Munich try and buy him,” he said.

“He’s the right age, he’s 23. Another one is Gonzalo Guedes at Valencia.

“He’d be good for them. I could see him in a Liverpool shirt.”

He added: “When I look at [Sadio] Mane, [Roberto] Firmino and [Mohamed] Salah, they’ve played so much football over the last two years, it’s inevitable that one will lose form or get injured.

“If Liverpool are going to try and challenge for Manchester City this season, they’ve got to have guys ready to step in like Werner or Guedes.

“They need people of that ilk who can come into the XI and strengthen the XI and make Salah and Firmino fight for their place.

“No-one is disrupting that front three at the minute, which is a good thing, but I can see a scenario where one of those three could run out of gas, lose form or get injured at the start of next season.”
