Liverpool’s biggest weakness this season has been their midfield.
Jurgen Klopp built his success at Liverpool around a fast, powerful, pressing midfield, which mainly consisted of Georginio Wijnaldum, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.
However, Wijnaldum has now left, Henderson is not the player he once was and Fabinho has also put in some questionable displays over the last few months.
With this in mind, it is expected that Liverpool will invest heavily in their engine room this summer.
Jude Bellingham looks to be the main target, though another player could also arrive to provide some much-needed quality in the middle of the park.
As well as a new midfielder or two, though, Fabrizio Romano has stated on Monday that Liverpool could also look to sign another centre-back:
“Bellingham is the top priority but there’s a chance they can go for one more midfielder because of Keita, Milner and Chamberlain contract situation.
“I’d keep an eye also on the centre-backs situation.”
Liverpool currently have four senior central defenders, but with Joel Matip getting on and Van Dijk perhaps past his best, Liverpool may be looking to strengthen at the back in the near future.
