Jamie Carragher has called for Liverpool to sign a new center-back and midfielder this summer, having insisted Arne Slot still doesn’t trust his squad.

The Reds boss looks set to be planning for a Premier League title defense this summer, with his side now just a single point away from being crowned this season’s champion.

There is no doubt though that Liverpool is in need of upgrades in some areas.

Jamie Carragher has called for Liverpool to make a number of signings this summer.

“If you look at Liverpool this season – this is not the manager’s squad, it is Jurgen Klopp’s,” Carragher told the Stick to Football podcast, brought to you by Sky Bet?

The same also applies in central midfield with Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch.”

Despite Carragher’s assertions, Slot has played down suggestions that Liverpool is in need of a big summer in the transfer market, with the Reds boss happy with the progress made by his side this season.

"There's not so many reasons to make it a busy one because we are quite well placed in the league and we have only lost in the Champions League against an incredible side which we were better than for 90 minutes at our stadium, I will add that one more time,” Slot said earlier this month.
