Liverpool hero John Aldridge is keen to see manager Jurgen Klopp's new-look midfield in action.

The Reds completed the signing of RB Leipzig midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai to follow Alexis Mac Allister's arrival from Brighton.

Aldridge wrote for the Sunday World: "A top-four finish is a must, as Champions League football has to be at Anfield.

"Then I would look to target the Europa League, which is a competition Liverpool should have a very good chance of winning.

"Also, the Europa League final is in Dublin next year and that would be one hell of a European party for Reds fans in the Irish capital.

"The FA Cup and League Cup are also there to compete for, but you need the luck of the draw to get through those early rounds.

"Realistic targets need to be set for Klopp and his team because the way the club's owners operate, they will never go crazy in the transfer market.

"They have made a shrewd signing with Alexis Mac Allister coming in from Brighton for a good fee, but it can't stop there.

"I'm also excited to see what Dominik Szoboszlai brings to the team after a deal was agreed to sign the Hungary international from RB Leipzig on Friday.

If Klopp uses Trent Alexander-Arnold in his midfield permanently, which I believe he should, then you are looking at a new-look midfield line-up that should be better than last year."
