Liverpool backed to challenge Man City for title after transfer plan reported – pundit
Liverpool will be able to challenge for the Premier League title this season without making any more transfers in this window.
That’s according to ex-Leeds United striker Noel Whelan, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about the Reds’ front line that “strikes fear into everybody else”.
According to Sky Sports (19 June), Liverpool’s most recent signing, Aberdeen’s Calvin Ramsay, joined the Reds in a £6.5 million deal.
He became Liverpool’s third summer signing after the arrivals of Fabio Carvalho and Darwin Nunez.
According to the Liverpool Echo‘s Theo Squires (19 June), the Reds have concluded their transfer business for this year.
When asked if he felt Liverpool were ready to push Manchester City even for next season’s title, Whelan told Football Insider: “I would say they have.
“I don’t think there’s many areas that I would look at now that needs strengthening. They’ve got backup in plenty of areas, people incoming who can play as centre half and they’ve got plenty of options with experience in that midfield.
“Now, when you look at the front line, it strikes fear into everybody else, just like the Man City side.
“We’re going to be blessed with two natural number nines, two of the best number nines in the world not just in Europe, which is going to be a fantastic challenge for everybody, every centr half in the Premier League and also for the players that are coming in from different nations.”
Last season Liverpool finished second in the league with 92 points.
They also completed a domestic double, winning both the FA Cup and the League Cup.
