Reds legend Ian Rush says Liverpool don’t need new signings in their bid to defend the Premier League title.
Liverpool don’t need to bring in any new additions ahead of the new season, says Ian Rush.
It’s less than 24 hours until the 2020/21 Premier League kicks-off.
Lots of teams have been active in the transfer window but the same cannot be said for Liverpool.
The Reds have so far signed only left-back Kostas Tsimikas who is expected to play back-up to Andrew Robertson.
Asides the Greek international, Thiago Alcantara has been linked with a move to Anfield. However, Liverpool remain in negotiations with Bayern Munich over his price tag.
Many have questioned whether the Reds still have enough to defend their title from last season.
Liverpool legend Ian Rush doesn’t agree with the general consensus.
“In an ideal world everybody wants to make signings but the problem they have at Liverpool is that if they sign someone, they are not guaranteed a place,” said Rush, speaking to 888Sport.
“They could sign a player for £80 million ($102m) but would they come without the guarantee of a first-team place?”
“That’s how strong that squad is and that will only change if they get a few injuries. Barring injuries, I think Klopp is happy with his squad.”
“Everyone else is spending for the sake of it because they need to catch up and they need to sign new players. They have to up their game because Liverpool have raised the standard now.”
“We have to hope that everyone stays fit but I wouldn’t worry about us not signing anyone.”
Liverpool begin their 2020/21 Premier League campaign with a home game against Leeds on Saturday.
