Jamie Carragher has predicted a busy summer transfer window for Liverpool and feels his former club has several areas it needs to address, regardless of whether Arne Slot ’s side wins the Premier League title.
But Liverpool has drawn half of its eight Premier League games since the turn of the year and has allowed Arsenal to close the gap at the top of the table.
Writing in his column in the Telegraph, Carragher added that there will be ‘hard judgements’ if Liverpool falls short as a lack of squad depth could mean the regular starters are overburdened.
“Strange as it sounds, if Liverpool do win the league it would still be surprising if they did not significantly invest this summer,” the 47-year-old claimed
“Even if Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold stay, Slot’s squad needs improving with three or four first team-ready additions.
“Whoever falls short this season will be asking themselves if they could have done a little more in the summer and January transfer windows
“The recent injuries to Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley leave Slot short of cover, but he still has his first-choice back four to select – a contrast to Arsenal’s injury problems up front.”
Carragher does claim that Liverpool playing at home in seven of its final 11 league matches of the season is significant, while he stated that a win at the Etihad on Sunday would be the ‘most compelling evidence yet that it [the title] is Anfield-bound’.
