Liverpool are in need of attacking signings ahead of next season, and reliable journalist James Pearce has provided an encouraging new update. The Reds look light in the attacking third heading into the summer transfer window, following Mohamed Salah’s exit after nine incredible years at Anfield.

According to The Athletic‘s Pearce, Liverpool will target two attackers before next season gets underway, with Andoni Iraola clearly seeing the importance of additions there: “With Mohamed Salah having left, Federico Chiesa’s future uncertain and Hugo Ekitike recovering from a ruptured Achilles, Liverpool are expected to buy at least two attacking players. There’s an acceptance internally that, due to the World Cup and Andoni Iraola’s desire to assess the talent he’s inherited in the early stages of pre-season, business is more likely to happen later in the window this time around.” At least 2 new attackers required for Liverpool this summer This should be music to the ears of Liverpool fans, who had to sit through their side toiling in attack for much of last season, with Salah a shadow of his former self and Gakpo way below his best.

But then a striker to act as backup to Alexander Isak is arguably needed, too, given the length of Ekitike’s absence, especially if the Swede again struggles with fitness issues of his own in his second year at Liverpool.
