Liverpool legend Ray Houghton says Jurgen Klopp needs to sign 'two or three players' this summer.

The Reds have already secured promising centre-back Ibrahima Konate from RB Leipzig.

But Houghton thinks Klopp needs more in order to compete for the title next season.

He told The Express: "I'm sure Jurgen will have two or three players but it's just whether the funding is there. I don't know what the money situation is like at Liverpool, it's something I don't get involved in.

"What I do know is that if you want to be competitive, you have got to be adding to your squad. You need at least two or three fresh faces each year, even if it's just for different voices in the changing room or to give you a different dimension when you play.

"It all depends on how much money Jurgen has to spend and who the targets are within their price range.

"I'm sure he's looking at centre-backs and a centre-midfielder.

"Gini Wijnaldum has gone, which is a big loss for Liverpool because he was so consistent, so that will be an area that they will be looking at.

"James Milner isn't going to go on forever. Jordan Henderson has had his injury problems over the last year or so.

"These are the things that Jurgen will factor in with what he needs to do. What you need in that midfield area is players who you can rely on.

"That's what Wijnaldum was, he was always there and wouldn't have missed a day's training, I would imagine. But those players are very few and far between.

"I think there is enough quality in attack so I don't think that's an area where they will be looking to strengthen much, unless you have an Mbappe become available and you have the funding to buy him."
