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.

Lorenzo Insigne is also a rumoured target. The Italian wizard is a tailor-made player for Klopp’s system thanks to his eye for goals, blistering pace and mobility.
