Heskey feels that the midfield is one area that needs strengthening in the summer. Liverpool do have players like Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Gini Wijnaldum, Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain, Naby Keita and Curtis Jones for that role, but Heskey still feels that the German should sign another midfielder, especially with Adam Lallana set to depart in the summer.
Ruiz has not been linked with a move to Liverpool, but Heskey has suggested that Jurgen Klopp would love to have the Napoli star in his squad. The former England striker has hailed him a ‘phenomenal player’, and feels he would be a very good signing for the club.
