According to Ronnie Whelan in his column for The Irish Independent, the Reds should consider a move for Jermain Defoe in what would surely be a highly-unexpected move.
The Reds legend was discussing who could help make a difference in our challenge for trophies with the likes of Gonzalo Higuain and Edinson Cavani coming up as well.
Certainly, those two would be real statements but Defoe would surely tear the fan-base in two.
Make no mistake, a top-level Premier League footballer that guarantees – Defoe would surely get decent numbers for the Reds but is he the striker to make us the big European threat we want to be? We have our doubts.
Whelan meanwhile, had this to say behind his reasoning:
“I’m sure the lads who were on the transfer committee at Anfield would never have given Defoe a second thought but Klopp should. As a long term investment? No good at all but if the priority is to deliver goals and quickly, he would be well worth the small amount of money needed to get him.”
It’s certainly an interesting one and we have thought in his prime that he’d have been a good option to have.
Now, though, we can’t see it working.
What do you think, Reds? Let us know below!
