Liverpool should consider a move for the Borussia Dortmund ace.

Jurgen Klopp, Manager of Liverpool looks on during a training session on April 9, 2018 in Liverpool, England.

Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp has already strengthened his squad in key areas this summer, splashing out close to £180 million on four new arrivals.

It could be argued that he still needs to add another attacker to his ranks, however, if he is to guide his side to their first top flight title since 1990.

The Reds sold Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona in January, and despite the fact that they have signed Xherdan Shaqiri this summer, there is still room for another talented attack-minded player.

With this in mind, Liverpool should consider a move for Borussia Dortmund’s Mario Götze, who could be available for just £18 million, according to Football.London.

The 26-year-old German has struggled with injuries in recent years, but for that price, he is more than worth taking a gamble on.

Götze’s career peaked in the summer of 2014, when he scored Germany’s winning goal in the World Cup final against Argentina, and at the time, he was considered to be world class.

Whilst the Dortmund star is not at that level at the moment, Klopp surely possesses the kind of man-management skills to get him back to his best.

The 26-year-old is a big fan of the Liverpool boss, according to the Liverpool Echo, and he could very well flourish playing under the German’s regime at Anfield.

For £60 million plus, Fekir would have been a pricey risk, whilst Götze’s reported availability for around £18 million arguably makes him a far better option that the Frenchman.
