Paul Schoes has indicated six potential transfers to make Liverpool possible if they want to build on their Premier League success with Trent Alexander-Arnold potentially a big name departure
Paul Scholes has emphasized six potential care areas for Liverpool, including a backup keeper and a new left back. The Reds have just been crowned Premier League champions, but the attention is aimed at how they can go again.
The side of Arne Slot has hardly been challenged on the way to winning the title. They have remained consistent while all others have disappeared, but the recruitment will now be the key to retain their crown. Slot chose to work with the team he inherited in the summer, but is now expected to become much more active in the market.
Mohamed Salah excelled in the last third part, but there remains a dependence on the Egyptian to come up with the goods. Scholes believes that at least two new faces may be needed to reinforce and add depth to the attack of Liverpool.
Caoimhin Kelleher has served as a stunning representative of Alisson, but the Brazilian is the clear no. 1 in Anfield and the Irishman is in the stage where he could command a start at various other clubs. If he leaves a significant emptiness, filling would need, although Georgian Giorgi Mhamardashvili is about to move to the club.
Scholes has also tipped Liverpool to pursue more bodies in midfield and add a new face on the left, although Andy Robertson has been a normal in that position for years.
He said to TNT Sports: “I think they should improve defensively. Of course, if Trent goes, they may need coverage for Conor Bradley. Almost Conor has done over the years, he tends to choose injuries. They can also have a problem with the number 2 goalkeeper as CaoImhin Kelle Her thinks are also a weak.
“I think Slot would like a midfield player. I know Ryan Gravenberch was very good, but if he was injured, they need a big backup there. I also don't think Federico Chiesa will be there next year, so I think they may need at least two players at the top, although I think they are the best attackers in the competion.”
The only large output from Liverpool this summer, when he leaves, will be Alexander-Arnold when his contract ends. The right back has remained silent with regard to his future and although he has an emotional bond with the Reds administered that he will go where he can regularly win.
Although Liverpool claims the title, the expert admits that he would “probably prefer Real Madrid” given their history of Constant Success. In the meantime, the Reds will have to deal with enormous competition if they want to continue and dominate, which has proved difficult.
