Liverpool will be looking to strengthen in the summer transfer window and could move to bring in another striker and creative midfielder, according to Dominic Matteo. The Reds have signed Kostas Tsimikas, however, Matteo believes they need more additions. The former Reds defender expects efforts to be made to bring fresh faces on board, including another frontman to compete with Roberto Firmino and a playmaker to pull strings in the middle of the park. "Yeah [they will need new signings]," Matteo told Sky Sports. "I think every club likes to freshen up but with Jurgen Klopp it's got to be the right kind of player, the right characteristics. "When you play for a club like Liverpool you have to have a certain way of playing, a certain way of living your life. There's so much pressure playing for a club like Liverpool and I've seen people come to Liverpool and they haven't managed to get to the heights that you expect them to get to. "So you have to be a real character to play for Liverpool and luckily for Liverpool as well they've got a lot of leaders around them. I think they will strengthen. I'm not sure who that is but maybe another centre-forward and maybe another midfield player. They've got so many options, they don't really need to strengthen too much because they've got so many players within the squad."
