Geordie legend Alan Shearer expects Liverpool to make a big name signing this summer.

While Shearer has hailed Jurgen Klopp for building a title-winning team, the Premier League hero reckons the Reds boss could do with strengthening his defence when the transfer window reopens.

Writing in his column for The Sun, he said: "For next season, I think Liverpool need only a small turnover of squad players to keep things fresh, keep the squad hungry.

"Not one of the first-choice starting XI were born when they last won the title 30 years ago so it's not an ageing squad.

"I could see them bring one big hitter in, which will push those already there even further. But when you look at the team; the keeper, top class. The full backs, heaped with praise.

"They could add a centre-back alongside Virgil Van Dijk but Joe Gomez and Joel Matip have done well.

"Then you look at midfield and frontline and whoever they go out and buy, are they going to improve this team that much?

"Boss Klopp now has the job of getting them ready for the next challenges."
