3 signings that will make Liverpool unstoppable 

Real Madrid v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League Final
Jurgen Klopp waves at the travelling Liverpool fans after their Champions League final defeat

Liverpool finished in fourth place in the Premier League and lost the final of the Champions League to Real Madrid. In what was widely considered a great season for the club despite their loss in the final, the Merseyside club has not claimed the coveted league title in England since their last triumph in 1990.

The 28-year long wait for a league title could come to an end this season if the club holds on to their current roster of stars and add a couple of new faces to setup.

Here we take a look at the three signings that will make Jurgen Klopp's team title challengers next season.

#3 Nabil Fekir

Lyon has categorically denied reports that Liverpool is close to agreeing on a deal to sign star forward Nabil Fekir. The Frenchman has emerged as a priority target for Reds boss Jurgen Klopp, who is looking to build on Liverpool's impressive run to the Champions League final.

Liverpool has been proactive and moving quickly in the transfer market already, with Naby Keita set to join from RB Leipzig having agreed to a deal last year, while Fabinho – a regular opponent of Fekir in Ligue 1 with Monaco – has also signed.

With some reports even suggesting an announcement was expected within 24 hours, Fekir move way from Lyon looks all but guaranteed. If Liverpool can complete the signing for the tricky, quick winger, the Reds will be a tough team to face given the depth of the squad at Klopp's disposal.

#2 Moses Simon

An exciting, creative winger, the 23-year-old came through the ranks of the prestigious GBS Academy in Nigeria, the same facility that Leicester City forward, Ahmed Musa went on to develop his career.

Moses a quick, smart, intelligent wingman has impressed his club KAA Genk in the short spell he's been at the club and guided them to a Champions League qualification spot in the first year at the club, notching seven goals in his first term at the Belgian club.

Since his move to Belgium in January 2014, the Nigerian produced stunning displays for the club. Simon is a name that several European clubs have taken notice of with Premier League clubs such as Liverpool and Spurs vying for the signature of the winger, according to various reports.

An exciting prospect for the future and probably a knockout artist regarding effectiveness on a game, Moses Simon's future as a KAA Genk player might be coming to an end with larger goals on the horizon for the young Nigerian.

#1 Thomas Lemar

Frenchman Thomas Lemar, like teammate Fekir, is on the radar of a number of English clubs including Liverpool and Arsenal and Spanish giants Barcelona. The battle for the player's services have been going on for a couple of months now and the signing of the player is expected to happen soon.

With his ability to swing in a perfect set-piece with his left foot, strikers would be cherishing the prospect of linking up with Thomas Lemar. He is not just a threat with set-pieces but Lemar also has an uncanny tendency to swing in extremely dangerous early crosses rather than dribble all the way to the byline.

A smart, quick and skilful player, Lemar has produced some good displays at club level this season and won a spot in the national team playing in Russia. Eager to impress at the World Cup, Lemar is in hot form and will be a crucial signing for Liverpool and will fit right into the system Klopp has going at Anfield.
