Liverpool will have to spend some money for additional firepower ahead of the upcoming AFCON, Danny Murphy has said.
Danny recently revealed that the league leaders will need to replace Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane when they leave to play for their African nations at the AFCON comptetition.
According to him, he would be shocked if the Reds do not buy anyone in attacking areas once the transfer window opens.
He added that he feels Liverpool will still win the title this season but the players will want to get it done quickly because it has been a long time coming.
His words, “I do think Liverpool could do with some additional firepower, especially as next season there will be the Africa Cup of Nations. That’s going to mean that both Salah and Mane are going to be missing for a chunk, a big chunk of the games.
“I would be amazed if when the window does open, or when the season ends, that Liverpool don’t sign someone in attacking areas.
“But you also have to remember that for two years they got to the Champions League final and got 97 points last season and are going to win it this year, so who are we to argue with how he’s [Klopp] balanced his squad.”
On this season, “I think Liverpool will inevitably win the title,”
“The fact that everybody wants it done so quickly, or the desire of everyone associated with Liverpool wanting to get it done quickly is obvious because it’s been 30 years. It’s going to happen.
“You’d think they will beat Palace on Wednesday and it makes the Man City away game [on July 2] really interesting because Pep and those Man City players are not going to want Liverpool winning it there.”
