For quite some time, the midfield area has been viewed as Liverpool's main problem and the position Jurgen Klopp needs to strengthen.
Many feel as if these issues really came to the fore when Georginio Wijnaldum left the club in the summer of 2021. The Reds have since looked to address the problem this summer, signing both Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, but it remains to be seen if either can match what Wijnaldum brought both on and off the pitch.
The Netherlands international was one of the most respected voices within the Anfield dressing room during his half a decade on Merseyside. That much was made clear when Wijnaldum was instrumental in a 2-1 comeback victory against Tottenham back in 2020.
