Liverpool Transfers: 11 Essential Signings To Win The League Next Year

3. Adam Lallana

Current Club: Southampton With the status of Saints boss Mauricio Pochettino still up in the air, with no assurances yet that he will definitely stay on the south coast, so-called "top clubs" will inevitably be sniffing around the team's brightest stars. Luke Shaw is likely to be one name that crops up frequently over the summer, with Manchester United inevitably attached as the primary suitors, given their need to rebuild, and another England star from the same time is likely to attract the attentions of the rumour mongers just as fiercely. Lallana has been a revelation this season, and his dynamic midfield play would be the perfect solution to how you fill the gap that will obviously open when Steven Gerrard moves out of the first team picture. The talismanic midfielder has been a key member of the side this year, but he won't last, and Liverpool need to make movements to cover that and soon. Though Pochettino is unlikely to want to see his two best players leave, but in asking the club to make funds available to build the squad for the next season, he may unwittingly have given them an opportunity to sell the assets for big money from underneath him.
