Ian Wright has said on The Kelly & Wrighty Show that Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool should look at signing Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur as a potential replacement for Roberto Firmino.
The Arsenal legend believes that Tottenham striker Kane would not miss the chances that Brazil international forward Firmino does.
Wright said on The Kelly & Wrighty Show: “If I had the capability of get Harry Kane and putting him in Liverpool’s full side with Salah or Mane or Luiz and playing as the number 9, dropping deep and doing his stuff.
“It won’t be how Firmino does it, that lovely bit of skills and stuff, but he can drop in and help create because them two could run behind.
“If it was available to me, I would definitely look into it because it’s Harry Kane, and he will score. People talk about Firmino that he doesn’t score enough goals, he misses too many. Harry Kane doesn’t miss those chances.”
Kane would be an upgrade on Firmino at Liverpool
In our opinion, Kane would be an upgrade on Firmino at Liverpool and would make Klopp’s attack even more potent and simply unstoppable.
Kane is a goal machine who has scored 178 goals in 273 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
Mohamed Salah is the main goalscorer at Liverpool, and he does not start centrally.
We have seen Kane evolving as a player over the past two seasons where he has dropped deep and created chances.
The striker could do the same at Liverpool.
However, in our opinion, Liverpool are not going to be able to sign Kane from Tottenham in the summer transfer window.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is likely to ask for £150 million and more for Kane, which Liverpool will surely not pay for a player who will turn 29 in July.
