Klopp’s system at Liverpool right now is highly reliant on the pace of Sadio Mane. When the Senegalese was absent, Liverpool struggled to create opportunities. The likes of Firmino, Coutinho, Lallana are quality players but cannot offer the drive from the wide areas that Mane offers. This is why Klopp needs to bring in a natural wide attacker in the summer.
We have seen German wonderkid Julian Brandt linked on a regular basis with Liverpool throughout this season. He could prove to be a brilliant signing if Klopp decides to break the bank on the Leverkusen starlet.

Snehanjan is a journalist at Sportskeeda covering European football news. A hardcore Liverpool fan for over two decades, he has been covering the game since the past 8 years and always strives to give readers relevant, accurate and credible content.
Snehanjan developed an interest in football at a very young age, thanks to his father watching football on TV. His favorite player is club legend Steven Gerrard and his favorite manager is another legend in Jurgen Klopp. The ‘Miracle of Istanbul’ i.e., Liverpool beating AC Milan in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final left an indelible mark on him. He believes that Liverpool is a family unlike other top clubs, which sets them apart.
Snehanjan also follows Indian Super League and the I-League, although the latter is closer to his heart. If he could change a rule in football, it would be VAR not pointing out mistakes of on-field officials unless they are clear and obvious errors. Outside the football world, Snehanjan likes to explore the various genres of music and watch movies and shows on OTT. He’s also a car enthusiast and likes to follow the automobile world.
