Liverpool should’ve gone all out to sign Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid before he joined Barcelona, according to Harry Kewell.
The reigning European champions have had little trouble putting the ball into the back of the net since Jurgen Klopp’s system started to click a few years ago, but Kewell thinks they could do with some more support upfront.
"I think they need another striker,” he told Sky Sports.
"I know it sounds crazy because the front three are amazing but I think they need another to test the current front three.”
Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino make up one of the most talent forward lines of any side in world football, but Kewell reckons that their back-up is not up to scratch.
He said: ”I have nothing against [Divock] Origi, I think he's a fantastic player and he does his part.
“He has scored some important goals and he's been a fantastic squad player because the front three are a solid front three.
"I would love to see someone challenge that front three to really keep them on their game.

"Mane is on fire, at the moment, Salah has been, but he isn't at the moment.
“Firmino, even though I think he does a lot of the dog work for Mane and Salah, he still doesn't score [enough].
"Are there players out there? Of course there is.
“I would have loved to have seen Griezmann there. I think he would have been fantastic. I think he's that type of player.

"But would you have been able to prise him away without guaranteeing him a place?"
Griezmann eventually joined Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi at Barcelona after they met his €120million [£103,552,200] buy-out clause.
The 28-year-old has gone on to score four times in his eight league appearances for the Catalan giants, bringing his overall club tally to 189 goals in 469 outings.
