Liverpool legend John Aldridge believes a new striker signing needs to be made.

Aldridge says Roberto Firmino needs stronger competition to push him to a new level.

He wrote for the Liverpool Echo: "There's been a lot said about Liverpool's stance in the transfer market this summer but I can't help but feel it might do Bobby some good if he did have someone breathing down his neck for his place so he knows he's got to score goals.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of his and he does some great things for the front three which often goes unnoticed but if you're a number nine, you have to score goals.

"That's the bottom line and he knows that. He's not been doing that at Anfield for the last year or so and it needs to change."
