Micah Richards says top-quality recruitment is the only way Liverpool and other Premier League sides will be able to compete with champions Manchester City next season.
Despite trailing Arsenal for large parts this campaign, Pep Guardiola and his star-studded team have now won their fifth English crown in six years. City might yet get their hands on a historic treble, too, as they continue to raise the bar after being pushed all the way by the Reds in recent times.
City revamped their squad last summer when signing Sergio Gomez, Kalvin Phillips and Norway goal machine, Erling Haaland, to offset Oleksandr Zinchenko, Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus leaving. Liverpool are primed and ready to make their own changes 12 months on.
