Liverpool’s failed move for Lyon ace Nabil Fekir would have been greeted with real frustration from the Anfield faithful, as they watched a move for one of the world’s best attacking midfielders slip through the net.

Jürgen Klopp is one the verge of achieving something incredibly special at Liverpool, but in order to take his Reds side to the next level, he quite simply must bring in another world class attacker.

He would provide strong competition for Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah in the wide attacking roles at Anfield, and he would more than make up for the disappointment of missing out on Nabil Fekir.
