Jamie Carragher has also claimed that Jurgen Klopp cannot rely on fringe striker Divock Origi, saying that he lacks the desired quality to succeed at Anfield. The former Liverpool man also asserts that the Reds should sign the two stars as they lack the required strength in the attacking section to compete for multiple titles.

Jamie Carragher cited an example from Liverpool’s recent defeat against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. He claimed that Sadio Mane had to be subbed off, while Origi was introduced into the game who could not make a wider impact. He also attributed the Reds’ defeat in that game to lack of attacking depth in the squad.

After RB Leipzig’s victory against Tottenham, Timo Werner spoke to the media and lauded Liverpool as the best team in the world. He also claimed that he was proud to be linked with Jurgen Klopp's side. The striker’s contract with the Bundesliga giants runs until 2023 and it would require a hefty fee for Liverpool to get their hands on the striker, who has already netted 26 goals in 32 games for the club this season.
