‘Liverpool need striker & Griezmann would’ve been perfect’ – Kewell calls for more firepower

Liverpool “need another striker”, says Harry Kewell, with the former Reds star suggesting that Jurgen Klopp should have targeted Antoine Griezmann before his big-money move to Barcelona.

Rather than dip back into the transfer market for another frontman over the summer, those at Anfield opted to hand fresh terms to Divock Origi.

The Belgian forward was rewarded for his important contribution during the 2018-19 campaign, which included a match-winner in a derby date with Everton and a goal in a Champions League final triumph.
