What should Liverpool do this summer?

Sky Sports pundit and former Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher says: “Liverpool will certainly improve, there is no doubt about that. As soon as you bring in three centre backs who are already at the club that will improve them massively.

“But we keep talking about centre backs, Graeme [Souness] mentioned Van Dijk, the bigger problem for me is at the other end of the pitch. Liverpool have not had injuries there.

“More often than not, it is the same front three with Diogo Jota coming in. He is the only one of the front three that has been injured out of the attacking players.

“That is the bigger worry because I am sure that the defensive frailties that we have seen at times this season will be rectified by players coming back and Liverpool signing a player in the summer in that position.”
