Liverpool legend Aldridge urges Klopp to go for Fulham striker Mitrovic

Liverpool legend John Aldridge would like to see Jurgen Klopp move for Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.

Klopp was full of praise for the Serb after Liverpool's win on Saturday.

And Aldridge wrote for the Liverpool Echo: "He's the type of player you'd want coming off the bench, he's big, strong and scores goals.

"He gives you something that little bit different and I like him as a squad player.

"The way Liverpool play they could do with someone who provides a bit of diversity and a Plan B.

"Maybe it's not Mitrovic himself, but I think they could really benefit from having someone like that, a target man who can bring others into the game.

"For whatever reason, Dominic Solanke has just fallen away a little bit.

"He can come again, he's still only a young lad, but we'll have to just wait and see.

"Somewhere down the line I think Liverpool should be looking to strengthen in that department."
