Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler says they need to spend big this summer.
Both fans and media have attributed the lack of new faces amongst Klopp's squad as a reason for their downturn in form and there is an ever-increasing demand to see owners FSG splash out on big names this summer despite their desire to receive fresh investment in the club.
Fowler agrees with such sentiments, writing in his column for The Mirror: "So yeah, the owners MUST spend big money in the summer, but it's a bigger issue than that. The recruitment has to be near perfect as it was in the past too, with elite-level players who can make a big difference immediately.
"That won't come cheap. And it may not be wise to spend what money they have on one player. Let's say the summer budget is £130m and they spend it on Jude Bellingham, one player just won't solve the team problem they've got.
"I think they need three players to go straight into the starting XI, at least. You're not finding two of them for no fee. So either the budget is far beyond Bellingham's fee (if they can get him), or they look for three players at £45m each.
"That's tough in today's market, but it may be the sensible option… if the recruitment team can reproduce their previous golden touch which found so many players who so quickly proved to be amongst the elite."
