Premier League 2018-19: What do the top 6 teams need for the upcoming season?

Liverpool

Is it finally their year?

There has been a real sense of gravity with Liverpool in this summer transfer window, with head coach Jurgen Klopp extremely keen on strengthening his squad in order to compete for the elusive Premier League title. Liverpool have stumbled in recent years, oscillating around the fourth spot for the past couple of seasons.

There has been a horde of transfer gossip, rumours and speculation surrounding the Merseyside club and the stars they are trying to sign from around the world, but what exactly do they need in order to become contenders for the title?

Liverpool urgently needed a new goalkeeper, but they have just announced the signing of long-term target and Brazil No. 1 Alisson Becker.

That leaves the Anfield outfit in need of a centre-back and an attacking midfielder. Naby Keita, Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri have already signed for the Merseyside club.

Players linked to Liverpool:

Nabil Fekir - Lyon

Quick on the ball, expertise in dribbling and a penchant to score outside the box stunners, Fekir reminds you of a certain Brazillian who left for greener pastures. A deal was in place for the French international but fell through because of poor negotiations between the clubs. Playing in the hole behind Firmino with Salah and Mane on either side would plunder opponent defences.

Paulo Dybala - Juventus FC

La Joya or the Jewel, this Argentinian international has almost everything similar to national compatriot and idol Lionel Messi. Having Dybala on your team guarantees goals, and a lot of them.

Domagoj Vida - Besiktas

After a brilliant showing with Croatia in the FIFA World Cup 2018, Vida's stock has risen immensely and his partnership with Liverpool player Dejan Lovren for the national team is the stuff of dreams for any manager.
