5 Wingers Liverpool should target

Liverpool is one of the most successful clubs in England and their rich history has always inspired the Merseyside based club. They were having tough times, but since the arrival of Jurgen Klopp, they have found the stability they have been looking for.

Klopp charisma has not only helped Liverpool finish in the Top 4 for two consecutive seasons but to be in the Champions League final as well only to be beaten by individual errors and some hard luck.

The German has also been influential in bringing in players like Alex Ox Chamberlin and Virgil Van Dijk who had offers from Chelsea and Manchester City but rejected the advances of their rivals to play under Jurgen Klopp.

At this moment Liverpool have great depth in the midfield and defense but in the attacking department, they have issues. Daniel Sturridge, as usual, has been struggling while Dominic Slonke has failed to impress in his first season. While they also have no quality cover for Mo Salah and Sadio Mane.

Here we look at 6 wingers Liverpool should target this summer-

#1 Moses Simon (KAA Gent )

Moses would fit in well in Klopp's high pressing game.

The Nigerian international has been dubbed as the next 'Sadio Mane' due to his playing style which is very similar to the Liverpool star. This season he has been one of the best players fo Gent and his performances have been taken notice by the scouts.

During his time in Belgium with Gent, he has made 136 appearances for his current team and he is just 22 years old. He is also the part of the Nigerian team travelling to Russia as he looks to impress.

He is a player who should fit very well in Jurgen Klopp's high pressing style of football. His pace and directness make it difficult to face him in one on one situation. He can play across anywhere is the front line even as a striker as well.

It is highly unlikely that he would replace Mane in Liverpool's starting line up but he could prove to a good back for Liverpool's front three and with time he can challenge for a spot in the starting eleven.

Liverpool is already said to be interested in the winger and are ready to make a £10 million bid for him. Considering his age, abilities and current inflation in the transfer market, he should be a good buy for the Reds.

#2 Christian Pulisic (Borussia Dortmund)

Pulsic is a very versatile player.

The American has been sensational for Dortmund since making his debut in 2015 when he just 17 years old. Since then hasn't looked back and he has been thriving at the Signal Iduna Park despite Dortmund's troubles.

He is a big game player and he often steps up for the BVB when they need someone. The youngster is also very versatile and he contributes in defense as well.

His performances have been good enough to say that he is likely to challenge Liverpool's front three for a place in the starting eleven. He can also be used as a Plan B for Liverpool as they have really struggled when Mo Salah is not at his best.

When needed Jurgen Klopp can also play him midfield as well. The Dortmund academy youth product style of play is of a proper modern day No.10 who is very efficient in dribbling and can go past players with ease.

The youngster is just 19 years old and if he comes to Anfield he could be there for a long-term and Liverpool can set up their team around him. He has been in constant contact with Jurgen Klopp and the Reds are ready to make a £53 million bid for him.

#3 Memphis Depay (Lyon)

Depay has been in great form since leaving Manchester United.

Since leaving Manchester United the Dutch international has been in phenomenal form for Lyon. In 69 appearances for the club, he has scored 25 goals and further provided 27 assists.

Many believe that like Mo Salah and De Bruyne he could be the next big talent who was not fair chances by Jose Mourinho and sold to another club. The former PSV winger has been one of the best players for Les Gones this season as he helped the club finish 3rd in Ligue 1.

He already has Premier League experience and adapting to the rough and physical English game should not prove to be a problem for him. He likes to play on the left and cut from his right foot to score goals.

The Lyon winger is a good dribbler and distance shooter as well. He would be a wonderful addition to Jurgen Klopp's squad. Also, he has a good amount of pace which should help him adjust to Liverpool's high pressing game.

Liverpool has been urged to sign the winger this summer. Though United have a buy-back clause in his contract, it seems unlikely he would want to move back to Old Trafford with Jose still their manager.

#4 Fekir (Lyon)

For some Fekir is more valuable than Neymar.

The Frenchman along with Memphis Depya has been one of the best players for Lyon. He came through the youth ranks of the club and this season he was named as the captain of the team.

Some even argue that Fekir is more valuable than the likes of Neymar as the Brazilian has the likes of Cavani, Mbappe, Thiago Silva and Di Maria to look to for support, while Fekir mainly single-handily leads this young Lyon team.

He is capable of playing in various positions in the midfield. His small size means he has a low center of gravity which allows him to use his pace and use his dribbling skills to go past players. He is a big game player as well he scored against PSG, Marseille and a stoppage-time winner against Monaco.

With the departure of Phillipe Coutinho, Liverpool is looking for a creative force in the midfield and Fekir could just be that for them, while his versatility can also help Liverpool to cope up without the availability of Salah and Mane.

Reports have come out that Liverpool is indeed getting closer to get their man and Liverpool are hoping that to agree a £50 million deal for Fekir.

#5 Xherdan Shaqiri (Stoke City)

Shaqiri has a release clause in his contract.

Xherdan Shaqiri is no stranger to a move to a big club. He started his career with Basel and then was snapped up by Bayern Munich, where he was a part of the team that won the treble in 2013. Later, he joined Inter Milan and after struggling in Itlay he came to England with Stoke City.

Shaqiri was Stoke best player this season, but he could save them from relegation. His performances were impressive, he scored many great goals for Stoke as well.

The Swiss would add quality depth to Liverpool's attack. Except for Mane and Salah, they don't have any natural winger. Also, he is capable of scoring goals as well, he was Potters top scorer this season.

He is just 26 years old and he is about to reach his peak, the former Basel winger has plenty of Premier League experience as well. Also, Stoke City's relegation makes it easier for the Reds to negotiate for a lower fee and he has a £12 million release clause.

The Potters have already revealed that they won't stop the Swiss international if he wants to leave the club.
