Former Liverpool midfielder Don Hutchinson believes the Reds should sign both Timo Werner and Goncalo Guedes this summer as they would offer competition for Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.
RB Leipzig striker Werner has been linked with a move to Anfield on numerous occasions during previous transfer window’s, while Guedes has impressed for Valencia this season.
And according to the Express via BBC Radio 5Live, Hutchinson believes the pair will be great additions to Liverpool’s squad this summer as they have the ability to offer competition to the Reds’ front three.
I would go for Timo Werner at RB Leipzig. It’s only a matter of time before Bayern Munich try and buy him. He’s the right age, he’s 23. Another one is Goncalo Guedes at Valencia. He’d be good for them. I could see him in a Liverpool shirt. When I look at Mane, Firmino and 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.
Though Liverpool are said to be looking to replace Daniel Sturridge this summer, with the striker set to leave the club on a free transfer, Jurgen Klopp is not expected to make wholesale changes to his squad during the transfer window.
