Former Liverpool star Alberto Aquilani has backed his former side to make a strong push for the English Premier League title next season. The former attacker says that he knows the Reds struggled a lot last season particularly in the league but Insists that they have a huge chance to bounce back from their poor campaign and challenge for the league crown next season.

Toward the end of the past two seasons, many would have backed Liverpool to replicate their fine form and make a huge claim for the title but the reverse was the case. They had a terrible season and eventually had to be battling for a top-four finish toward the end of the past campaign. Although most of their failures last season could be traced to the fact that they suffered a lot of injuries to some of their star players, but they still fell short in their attack as their strikers and forwards failed to make the most of their chances.

The likes of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, and Roberto Firmino were all firing blank and failed to come up with the goods, making the Reds suffer by losing matches in the process. However, according to Aquilani, Liverpool’s troubles last season were just a sign that they should always be ready for anything that could be thrown at them.

The former forward said that he knows Liverpool well and they have a great squad of top football starts that can start next campaign on the front foot and challenge Manchester City for the Premier League title next season.

Aquilani says Klopp only needs to sign a few more players that will make the squad even more formidable so they will have an increased chance of enjoying incredible progress and success in the coming campaign.

According to former Liverpool player Alberto Aquilani, the club must do everything it takes to ensure that they keep hold of star forward Mohamed Salah. There have been a lot of reports and rumors linking the Egyptian forward to an exit from Anfield this summer, and it has attracted a lot of reaction from the Reds’ fans who have all unanimously called on the club to make sure they tie the winger to a new contract.

Salah and Liverpool are both at the risk of missing out on Champions League football for next season as they continue to struggle to break into the top four in the English Premier League table so far. The club that have been linked to the signing of the former AS Roma star are Barcelona, with the Spanish La Liga giants interested in adding him to their attack ahead of next season.

But Aquilani has expressed his opinion on the issue insisting that Liverpool have a job on their hands to try and convince their star forward to commit his future to the club instead of allowing him to attract interest from other clubs. The former Reds star said although Salah has not been as prolific as he was in the previous campaign, he is still a huge asset and will boost the attacking threat of the Anfield club as well.

Salah’s Liverpool attacking partner, Sadio Mané has also been linked with an exit as he is also struggling to replicate his last season’s form, and Aquilani says Liverpool can’t even afford to lose any of the players, let alone both of them.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will also look forward to convincing his two best players to remain at the club as he needs them to continue building his legacy as one of the best managers the club have ever had in their history.
