Jamie Carragher names how many signings Liverpool must make this summer
Jamie Carragher says Liverpool need to add "three or four" quality players to their first team this summer
Jamie Carragher believes that Liverpool need to make at least “three or four” quality signings this summer as Jurgen Klopp prepares his team for a return to the Champions League.
The Reds have been linked with a host of players over the last few weeks but the Merseyside outfit have thus far only confirmed the capture of Dominic Solanke from Chelsea.
Liverpool are thought to be closing in on the signing of former Chelsea winger Mohamed Salah as Klopp looks to bolster his attacking options.
But Carragher wants to see the Merseyside outfit bring in a number of top-quality additions who can move straight into the first-team at Anfield.
Speaking to Liverpool’s website, Carragher said: “The actual team, the XI, could go up against anyone – we saw that in the big games with some great results in those games.
“But over the season, especially around Christmas and January, it was evident that the squad wasn’t big enough or strong enough.
“That needs adding to. But rather than just adding players to the squad, you want to add players to the team. If you add three or four players and they go straight into the first XI, three or four of those who were playing week in, week out last season go to the bench.
“It makes the bench a lot stronger and your team a lot stronger. It’s not just numbers. It’s about getting the right quality that can go straight into the team.”
Liverpool are on the hunt for reinforcements after the Reds secured their return to the Champions League by sealing a fourth-placed finish last season.
The Reds had looked like they would challenge for the title in the first half of the season but they were unable to keep the pressure on Chelsea as the campaign unfolded.
