Former central defender of Liverpool Phil Thompson is confident that the club could strengthen the team 3 performers from Southampton.

Over the past 3 years, Liverpool has bought five players from Southampton. Defenders Nathaniel Kline and Dejan Lovren, midfielder Adam Lallana, winger Sadio Manet and striker Ricky Lambert cost Mersisays for more than 100 million pounds.

Thompson, now working as an expert on Sky Sports, is confident that Liverpool should once again go the beaten path. Phil said that the Reds need to acquire the central defender Virgil van Dyck, left-back Ryan Bertrand and supporting midfielder Oriol Romeu.

Bertrand could have solved the problem with the left-back of Liverpool. This season, this position is played by the nominal midfielder James Milner.

Van Dyke would have competed in the center of defense Dejan Lovren and Joel Matip, replaced by Ragnar Clavan and Lucas Leyva.

But the problem is that the player of the Netherlands team has the views of Man City and Chelsea.

As for Oriol Romeu, the Spaniard would have to compete for a place in the center of midfield with Emre Jan and Lucas Leiva.

Liverpool after 35 rounds of the Premier League is the third and hopes to qualify for the Champions League in the end of the season. For guaranteed success, the team needs to win the remaining 3 matches, the first of which will take place on May 7 - just against Southampton.
