Liverpool enjoyed a successful 2017-2018 campaign, finishing runner-ups to Real Madrid in the Champions League and also finishing in the Top 4 in the Premier League.
However, the Reds suffered many injury setbacks during the course of the season and their squad looked thin compared to their rivals. To address this issue, Jurgen Klopp has already signed Fabinho from the French club, AS Monaco.
They are linked with players like Nabil Fekir and the media is also tipping the Brazillian goalkeeper, Allison to join their camp in the next few days.
Liverpool has become an attractive destination for players after their recent showings in the Champions League and many big players are likely to become a part of Jurgen Klopp's revolution at the club. However, there are many players from the relegated PL clubs who are capable of playing for the top-flight clubs. Klopp might as well target these players in order to fill in the holes in the Liverpool squad at cheaper prices.
Let us look at four such players Liverpool could target.

#4 Xherdan Shaqiri
The Swiss international was linked heavily with Liverpool in the summer transfer window of 2014 but Bayern Munich blocked his potential move to the Merseyside.
However, following Stoke City's relegation from the Premier League, Xherdan Shaqiri will be looking for a move away from the club and Liverpool can sign him for a cut-price deal this summer.
Quick, direct and ambipedal, Shaqiri has just about every skill that is needed to play for a big club and will be a perfect back-up for Liverpool's wingers. His speed and technical ability will complement Jurgen Klopp's style at the club and a healthy competition for the places in the team will only get the best out all the players.
The Switzerland international played 83 times for the Potters in the Premier League scoring 15 goals. He likes to shoot from the distance and scored a number of belters during his time at the bet365 Stadium.
Clubs like Tottenham, Everton, and Southampton have all been linked with him over the past few weeks and the Reds need to act faster in order to secure the services of the talented attacker.
#3 Jonny Evans
Not many Liverpool fans will want a former Manchester United player to play for their team, nevertheless, Jonny Evans is a brilliant defender and could be a perfect partner for Virgil van Dijk in the heart of Liverpool's defence.
Evans is an experienced defender who can help Liverpool hold there nerves during the big games and also inject calmness in the backline while protecting the lead.
He completed 76 percent of his tackles last season and won 120 duels. The Scottish international is an accomplished passer of the ball and 80 percent of his passes found his teammate's last campaign.
There is a lot of interest coming from the Premier League clubs for the signature of the former Manchester United defender and Jurgen Klopp will face a tough competition if he decides to sign the 30-year-old from Northern Ireland.
#2 Salomon Rondon
Probably a strange option, but Salomon Rondon will provide Liverpool with everything they lacked in their attack this season.
Strong and comfortable in holding up the ball, Rondon will add something different in their front line and get the best out of Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah with his intelligent lay-offs.
The Venezuelan international joined West Brom Albion in 2015 and has been leading the line for the club since then. He played 107 games for the club scoring 24 goals. This season, West Brom struggled with their attacking play and managed to score only 31 goals in the Premier League, of which seven goals were scored by Salomon Rondon himself.
Rondon can leave West Brom for just £16.5m due to the relegation release clause in his contract and the Reds can make a move for him if they want a cheap and PL-proven striker to back-up Roberto Firmino.
#1 Jack Butland
Stoke City's goalkeeper, Jack Butland is one of the most talented goalkeepers in England and could be the solution to Liverpool's long-term goalkeeping crises.
The 25-year-old made 135 saves this season, which was the most among the goalkeepers who played in the Premier League this season. He also kept six league clean sheets and was at fault individually for just one of the goals he let in.
His impressive performances also caught the attention of Gareth Southgate, who regularly deployed him between the sticks during the past one year and is also likely to carry the gloves for the Three Lions at the World Cup.
Butland is linked with Liverpool since the past few weeks and he might be playing in the Premier League with the Reds next season.
