Jamie Carragher urges Liverpool to "invest" on new signings

Club legend Jamie Carragher says that Liverpool should look to signing proven players - rather than prospects - during the next transfer window.

Club legend Jamie Carragher has claimed that Liverpool need to improve their squad during the next transfer window.

Despite suffering a last-16 exit in the Champions League, Liverpool sat 25 points clear at the top of the Premier League before football was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.

While the global crisis will have a significant impact on the transfer market, Carragher feels that his former club must make new additions to maintain their current dominance.

Speaking on Sky Sports News, Carragher said: "I just feel this team has been together now for three or four years. The front six hasn't changed for about two or three years. That doesn't mean it should change but I just think there should be something more certainly in reserve for the front three.

"I think Liverpool have been lucky that the best players have never really suffered injury-wise. When you think of the big players, the front three, the two full-backs and Virgil van Dijk.

"I just think can there be more competition, certainly with [Andrew] Robertson at left-back. He's the only recognised left-back at the club. I think Liverpool need more than Divock Origi to back-up one of the front three when they're out. Hence why Liverpool have been linked with Timo Werner. I actually think Liverpool do need to invest to keep them where they are."

Liverpool have made just two first-team signings during the last three transfer windows.
