Liverpool have been told they are in desperate need of "another £40m or £50m kind of player" to ease the goal-scoring burden on the likes of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.
The pair of Reds forwards have been unavailable to Jurgen Klopp for much of this month while they participate in the Africa Cup of Nations with their respective national sides.
Both Salah's Egypt and Mane's Senegal have progressed to the last eight of the tournament, ensuring yet another week away from Merseyside where Klopp would surely love to put them through their paces and turn their attention back to club matters.
