Liverpool legend Carragher: Klopp needs to buy

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher says they must buy before the transfer deadline falls.

Carragher has urged Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp to sign a couple of players this summer.

When asked if he'd be happy if Liverpool didn't sign anyone else, Carragher told Off The Ball: “No, I'd like them to bring someone in. I still think we're a little bit short at left-back, [Alberto] Moreno's gone.

“I still think a creative midfield player. The front three is a difficult one for managers and clubs when you've got such a set front three.

“They've got a young lad in Brewster, probably one of the best talents in Europe for his age. Origi, the goals he's scored.

“To bring another one in and spend £50m or £60m, Origi has just signed a new contract so they will have had to promise him in some ways, a lot of chances.

“The same with Brewster, I think he was maybe looking at moving abroad [last year] like a lot of young English players now.

“In some ways, In some ways, they've got to give these players a chance. I understand from a manager's point of view it's not easy.

“But Liverpool will spend big if the right player is there, they proved that last season with the keeper and [Virgil] van Dijk. It's not a case of that."
