Legend identifies where Liverpool need to reinforce this summer

Former Irish safe hand Shay Given has urged Premier league giants Liverpool to bring in a new goalkeeper to challenge first choice goalie Loris Karius this summer transfer window.

Two costly errors cost Liverpool Champions League success

Liverpool lost 3-1 to Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League final last weekend in Kiev.

Loris Karius made two costly errors to allow French striker Karim Benzema and Wales international attacker, Gareth Bale, to score in a resounding victory for the defending European champions.

The Liverpool shot-stopper has somewhat improved his game over the last few months after replacing Belgium international goalkeeper Simon Mignolet as the Reds number one safe hand.

Ex-Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp stuck with Loris Karius despite an unsure start to his career at Anfield in the 2016-17 season.

Alisson and Oblak linked with Liverpool move

The Merseysider’s have been heavily linked with a move to bring in AS Roma goalie Alisson Becker or Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak.

Ex-Newcastle United goalkeeper Shay Given feels Liverpool need to complete the signing of a new goalkeeper this summer window.

The Premier League legend told BBC Radio Five Live that Liverpool need to sign someone to challenge Loris Karius in goal.

The Reds haven’t had a world-class shot-stopper since Spaniard Pepe Reina was permitted to leave the club outfit under former Boss Brendan Rodgers.
