Steven Gerrard has demanded that Liverpool sign a top striker this summer in order to hit the heights of last season and return to the Champions League.
According to David Maddock of the Mirror, the talismanic midfielder, who is due to leave Anfield at the end of the season for LA Galaxy, said:
To get into the top four, you are going to need a striker who can score 25-30 goals a season. That is just the way it is. That is where we came short this season.
It was always going to be tough when we lost Luis Suarez [sold to Barcelona last summer], but I thought we could definitely finish in the top four positions if we kept Daniel Sturridge fit and he could perform like he did alongside Luis.
