Roy Keane names three positions Liverpool must strengthen(Image: Michael Zemanek/REX/Shutterstock)

Roy Keane believes Liverpool must secure at least three new signings in the summer transfer window to have a shot at retaining their Premier League crown.

Enzo Fernandez gave the hosts an early lead, which was doubled when Virgil van Dijk's attempted clearance ricocheted off Jarell Quansah and into the goal.

Van Dijk managed to claw one back from a corner, but Cole Palmer's late penalty sealed a crucial victory for Enzo Maresca's side, handing Liverpool just their third league loss this season.



The Reds have made significant strides recently by securing Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah on new two-year deals.

However, with less than a month until the transfer window opens on June 1, sporting director Richard Hughes has plenty more to ponder.

Keane, having watched the Stamford Bridge defeat, feels that despite their league triumph, Liverpool are lacking depth in crucial areas.

Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konate were left on the bench by Slot in favour of Kostas Tsimikas and Quansah, a move that Keane felt represented a drop in quality.

"They want to back that up," Keane remarked on Sky Sports regarding Liverpool's intentions for summer signings.

"That's the big challenge for Liverpool.

He's like a younger version."

Ahead of the clash with Chelsea, Slot spoke about how Liverpool's triumph in the league amplifies the club's allure for potential transfer targets.

He quoted: "Winning the league, having these fans, I think that is a big attraction to every player we want to bring in and it is definitely helpful."

Following the failed attempt to land Martin Zubimendi for £51million, Liverpool only managed to sign Federico Chiesa last summer.

However, the team is poised for a more active transfer window, as Slot looks to strengthen his squad from a position of success.

Players such as Tsimikas and Darwin Nunez are on the list of potential departures, while Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to depart Anfield as a free agent at the end of the season..
