Which Italian Players Would Improve the Reds?
With yet another international break upon us, I was keen to look at which countries players could improve this Liverpool team. I chose to concentrate on England’s upcoming opposition, Italy, who they face this coming Thursday. Their trip to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona will be an intriguing watch, with two European giants often producing a decent spectacle.
Below is a selection of players from Roberto Mancini’s 30-man Italian squad, that I believe could improve the Liverpool ranks.

Could Federico Chiesa Be the Salah Replacement?
Though I’m utterly reluctant to see our Egyptian King depart, it would be ignorant not to start looking at those rare bodies that could potentially replace our record breaking scorer.

To the Left, to the Left, All of LFC's Money in a Box to the Left
It was obvious to close observers last summer, even before all of the pieces were moved around Jurgen Klopp's chess board, that Liverpool were short an attacker. More specifically, the Reds could have done with a left-sided forward in order to complete the ultimate rotation.
