Liverpool icon John Aldridge has no doubts Dirk Kuyt has a big role to play next season.
Ex-Reds midfielder Jamie Redknapp has questioned where the Dutchman will fit in.
But Aldo told liverpoolfc.tv:"Of course we expect Kenny Dalglish to sign wide players this summer and when Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll are both fit they will be the first-choice strike pairing.
"But whatever happens Kuyt is going to be a very valuable asset next season. He's shown again recently he can do a great job for the team whether he's out on the right or up front alongside Suarez.
"It's great for Kenny Dalglish to have someone who is so versatile and offers him different options."
