Liverpool are reportedly among the clubs who are keen on completing the signing of Sporting CP striker Luis Suarez in the summer transfer window. Now, according to a report from Spain [via Caught Offside], the Premier League champions are eyeing a summer move for Sporting star Suarez, who is enjoying a superb season, scoring 32 goals in all competitions.

Do Liverpool need to sign Luis Suarez this summer? He has also been hailed by Cristiano Ronaldo in the recent past, which is no mean feat, with the footballing great saying: “He’s an excellent striker” – someone who can keep the club competitive and push forward.” While Suarez’s pedigree is undeniable, there is an argument to say that Liverpool should be looking to use their summer transfer funds on more pressing positions.

The Reds already have Isak and Ekitike as centre forwards, so keeping them and Suarez happy would be difficult, with the former hopefully finding top form and fitness next season after a slow start to life at Anfield. Reds supporters are unlikely to complain too much if Suarez does join in the summer, giving the team even more firepower, but it is a transfer that doesn’t make sense for too many reasons.
