I think Klopp will want somebody in their very early twenties with room for improvement unless he can get another Salah type player with their contract running down and still to hit their prime.

Werner is probably Klopp's No 1 target for the summer. He ticks all the boxes for a Klopp type player.

Kerching! Spot on.
This is why we get linked with Werner and now Brandt. Previously it was with Pulisic.
Right age, experience level, good price, resale value. They tick a lot of boxes.

Someone like Zaha is a real gamble for the £70m Palace would want. We are not paying that for a player who is not going to be a guaranteed starter.

alot of them are penalties (8)

for the right price i would take him

I think Zaha will be less of a gamble as he has performed in the EPL.

Ok we can disagree on this but for around £70m who would he feasibly replace on a regular basis without weakening the side? Would we accommodate him at the expense of what has brought us this far this season with a club record points haul?

We need a pacy and versatile forward who can slot in for any of our regular starters and not weaken our goal threat. I expected that Sturridge would fit that bill in this outgoing season but he hasn't measured up, when given the chance, which admittedly were scarce.
We also need backup/ competition for Robertson, in addition to a creative attacking midfielder. I'd be happy with those three positions being filled by quality additions, for the upcoming season, assuming we don't lose any of our regular starters and backups.

I agree, I think Zaha is one of the few PL players we could get who would fit into our system and deliver, he want's CL football, so he is looking for a move. If we can get him for a good price, say around £50 million, I think he would be a good buy as he can play across the front line and gets goals, remember, we sold Benteke & Sakho to Palace for about £60 million, so we do owe them abit extra lol

I would love us to get Son from Tottenham, he would really fit our system, but I can't see them selling, especially to a rival, maybe if they don't get CL if would be worth a go?

If available, Son over Zaha any day.

Yes a far better finisher and a better attitude. For pace he is like a younger Vardy.
