It will not come as a surprise if the Reds offload strikers like Mario Balotelli and Christian Benteke in the summer transfer window.
The Reds need a proven quality goalscorer for next season and someone like Napoli’s Gonzalo Higuain perfectly fits the bill.
Lately, Mirror reported that the Argentine international wants to play under the management of Klopp at Anfield even though the Reds have failed to qualify for Europe.
If the reports are true then the Merseysiders must splash the cash and secure the signing of the former Los Blancos superstar in no time.
Higuain is one of the best goalscorers in world football at the moment. The “magnificent” (Goal) striker scored 36 goals in 35 league games last season, only four fewer than European Golden Shoe winner Luis Suarez. Over all, the 28-year-old forward has netted 221 goals club goals in his career (Transfermarkt).
If Liverpool do sign Higuain, there is no doubt that he will start as the lone striker upfront ahead of Sturridge.
Here is how Liverpool will line up with Gonzalo Higuain.

Got the basis of a decent team here but still need a specialist defensive midfielder, a left-back and another centre back, unless Joe Gomez can fill that void? The best LFC teams – and I’ve been watching them since 1963 – had TWO exceptional centre backs and a keeper (Ray Clemence) behind them who missed NOTHING in the air. If it came across his area, he caught it and, if he didn’t, the partnership in front of him coped easily with the high ball. We’ve not had that since then!!!!
For the defensive midfielder, I’ve always had a hankering for Sissoko of Newcastle as I think he’s got the skill, the movement, the energy and the physical presence to do that job and do it well. Apparently, Arsenal are after him so probably won’t get him even if LFC give me the transfer budget to spend . . . and that’s not likely to happen, is it?
Still not convinced about Henderson and haven’t been since he joined. Don’t see the goal threat, can’t see many chances created by him, far from certain he’s a good defensive midfielder and, in general, apart from his running, I can’t really see what he brings to the party! He hardly scores or even has a shot, when did he last actually do a defence-splitting pass above the ordinary and when has he adequately protected the back four?
He’s okay but not much more than that, sorry!
Love the idea of Higuaín as he’s pure quality who can score a goal a game in a good league. The fact he wants to come to LFC, and not United, is just the icing on the cake as far as I’m concerned. We need to grab him while we can . . . before somebody else does!
Must see an improvement from Coutinho this year as he can’t be a ‘prospect’ much longer. He needs to make that step up to be a great player as he has the ability to be one of our best ever . . . or somebody who just won’t quite make it! Which will it be? God knows! I wish him well though, he’s a lovely player to watch when not frustrating the life out of me!
‘A perfect body needs a perfect face’. So Liverpool fc needs Gonzalo Higuain. It will be a total shame if Liverpool fails to secure the services of Higuain which judging from all angles is single handedly capable of bringing the PL trophy next season back to Anfield after 25 years. As it is, a very strong and potent attack is as good as a very strong and potent defence. Take Barcelona fc of Spain for example. Critically speaking, they only have an average defence but boast of a superb attack. If Gonzalo is all we can bring to Anfield, Amen! I want to have something to brag about come 2016/17 EPL season. As it is, Higuain has what it takes to give me something to brag of. Please Liverpool fc, give us this day Gonzalo Higuain.
Please bring Higuan to LFC, Sale Ballotel and Benteke and such cash spend to grab Higuan to An field, and am sure if this deal shall be secured LFC this season 2016/2017 we will lift EPL trophy l assure you. What you and wherever you are now Klopp please make this deal possible. Even if budget does not allow sale Daniel so that we can remain with Origi and Ings plus Higuan himself, l can’t wait to see this incredible deal happening. What makes me boared every day is the tendency of LFC just mentioning certain player to join our club but where you endup its shame…..please this season don’t make us funs believe our club to be a best and leading romours club in the world. Each year we fail to reach the planned and expected goals because of poor signing of players, this is a season of showing and doing quality than quantity …remember what Brendan R’ did signing many players with unskilled like Markovic, Benteke, Ballotel, Bollin, etc where are they now?? Thus am so very Klopp make sure you bring quality players this coming season Higuan is among them.
I think LFC really needs besides those new winger/offensive midfielder and left back, at least 2 new REALLY GOOD center back and a new really good box to box center midfielder… it’s sad how overrated Henderson is… if you had a foreign player that played like him he would have already been replaced…
Raphael Guerreiro (Left Back), Joao Mario (offensive midfielder/Winger), Murillo/Subotic (center back) and Pierre Hojberg (center miedfielder).
Henderson not good enough.Loads of running but nothing else.replace ASAP if lfc want to be serious challengers.
Replace Can With Milner gives us a lot more width seeing as Moreno will not be in that wide role. Unfortunately Moreno is a player I’m not sure about. He makes too many mistakes to achieve the brilliant flashes we see of him. Flashes are not good enough. Can of course is a much improved player and I would be happy to see him along side Hendo or Milner. Coutinho and Firmino not always good together. Ings is going to be great this season.
