Liverpool was officially declared the Premier League champion last weekend.
The Reds have consistently outperformed their competitors throughout the season, culminating in a decisive 5-1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday.
Arne Slot’s team can now focus on their remaining four matches of the season before shifting their attention to the upcoming summer transfer window.
Following a relatively modest spending spree last summer, Liverpool is anticipated to make significant investments to enhance their squad this time.
As reported by the Telegraph, Slot will receive one of the largest summer transfer budgets in Liverpool’s history as they aim for consecutive Premier League titles.
Fabrizio Romano has indicated that the club intends to bolster several positions, with a primary focus on acquiring a new striker.
Former Premier League player Troy Deeney has given his thoughts on where Liverpool need to strengthen.
Speaking on talkSPORT, per SportBible, Deeney said:
“I can see them looking at a left-back. [Andrew] Robertson has been fantastic but unfortunately, there comes a time when you get moved, it’s just part and parcel of football.
“Probably another centre half because if one of the guys goes down, they are light in that situation. And I still think they need an extra body in midfield.
They haven’t been lucky but nobody in that midfield three has been injured for a sustained period of time and if that was to happen then they are a little bit light after that.”Deeney also thinks Liverpool should sign a striker.
The 20-time English champions have been heavily linked with Alexander Isak and Deeney thinks they would be unstoppable if they are able to secure a sensational deal for the Swedish forward.
He said:”They’re linked with [Alexander] Isak as well – if they were to get that, just give them the title for the next five years if they get that fella.
”Deeney has been very complimentary of Newcastle’s star player in recent times. Deeney named Isak in his Premier League Team of the Week after his performance against Ipswich, saying about him:
“His movement and link-up play is excellent. This guy is the complete striker in world football.
“Liverpool will no doubt be interested in signing Isak this summer but it will be very tough to prise him away from Newcastle.
The Telegraph write that Liverpool are realistic about the likelihood of luring him to Merseyside, with their chances appearing to be ‘slim to none’.
They add that Newcastle could put a price tag in excess of £130m on Isak, meaning Liverpool will have to smash their transfer record by over £45m if they are to lure him to the club.
