Liverpool should launch a £150m move for Tottenham Hotspur trio Christian Eriksen, Toby Alderweireld and Dele Alli, according to former striker Stan Collymore. Jurgen Klopp has yet to acquire a replacement for Philippe Coutinho and is already being linked with signing a new goalkeeper after Loris Karius’ mistakes led to the Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid. Despite suffering their third major final defeat under Klopp’s tutelage, Collymore feels Liverpool must build on an otherwise encouraging season to prevent Manchester City and Manchester United extending their advantage.
‘Liverpool’s owners need to use the Champions League Final as a platform to build a squad that is capable of standing squarely toe-to-toe with those being assembled in Manchester,’ he told The Mirror. ‘The first XI put together by the affable German has shown that, on its day, it can compete with the very best. ‘But, for all of their promise in the second half of this season, Liverpool do not have the strength in depth of their two great rivals.
‘If the Reds are to close the gap, they need genuine A-listers as back-up. ‘I am talking about wandering into White Hart Lane, plonking £150m on the table in front of Daniel Levy and saying: “I’ll give you that for Christian Eriksen, Toby Alderweireld and Dele Alli.”’
