# Midfielders Liverpool should look to sign in the summer

Liverpool have been in excellent form going forward and have had their defensive troubles well documented this season, but not a lot has been made about their midfield options.

Jordan Henderson has been excellent throughout the course of the campaign but has been suffering with injury, whilst Gini Wijnaldum has been a revelation.

However, the likes of Emre Can have underwhelmed and Lucas Leiva, often being utilised in central defence this season, hasn’t exactly set the world alight with good performances. Both of these players’ futures at Anfield are under some scrutiny at the moment, and there could certainly be some movement in the summer with regards to the central midfield.

So, if either of the two players do leave, Jurgen Klopp will be pushed even further to consider signing a new central midfield player.

Here is a selection of players that we feel as though would resolve Klopp’s potential issues in the middle.
