Liverpool do not have quality and depth in their strike-force and in all fairness, they need a top out and out center forward to compete with the best of teams next season.
The Reds sold Luis Suarez back in 2014 and since then, they have not been able to replace the prolific Uruguayan striker, who netted 31 Premier League goals in his last season with the Merseysiders.
Roberto Firmino did score crucial goals in the CF role last season but Klopp needs a striker, who will score 20+ league goals next season.
Few days back, the Sun exclusively revealed that Liverpool and Chelsea are interested in signing Dortmund star Aubameyang this summer. If the latest reports in the media are anything to go by then Liverpool and other suitors can agree his signing if they meet Dortmund’s asking price before the deadline set by the club.

As per Bild, Aubameyang has been told to find a new club by 26th July or else he will not be leaving the Bundesliga side.
The renowned German source have stated that if the Gabon striker has not found a club who are willing pay at least 70 million euros (£62million) before the above mentioned date then he will have to stay for one more season. Bild also state that his move to China is now out of question in this transfer window.
Last night, we covered a report (via Mirror) claiming that the Anfield club are prepared to pay 70 million pounds for Naby Keita. This means that they probably have the funds to sign Aubameyang but should they splash 70 million euros for someone who turned 28 last month?
Do Liverpool need a center forward more than a midfielder? In your opinion, should Liverpool sign Aubameyang or Keita?

Wasted too much time on Naby Keita.
I’ve been wondering why clubs are not all over him; is it really his age (besides 28 isn’t bad if it buys u immediate success which the club needs now. At 30+ will liverpool not take Suarez? Something is amiss. On the Keita chase patience is needed.
