Liverpool have been urged by Anfield cult hero Jose Enrique to move for Alexander Isak next year.

The Reds currently have one of the most dangerous front lines in world football.

However, Liverpool could certainly do with bringing in new attacking players.

Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane are approaching 30, while Firmino turns 31 next year.

Meanwhile, questions remain over Liverpool’s strength in depth up front.

Enrique believes Isak would be a perfect fit for Jurgen Klopp.

“For me, I know January is a difficult transfer window because sometimes people buy in panic,’ he told Metro.co.uk.

“But definitely I would go for one player who can play across the front three.

“I love Isak from Real Sociedad, I think they should have signed him in the summer before he signed a new deal.

“Now will be difficult but if they go with the right amount of money, definitely he is a player.

“He’s 22, a big lad, quick, strong, good one-v-one, can play on the wings as well as a number nine, he defends.

“There’s a lot of options out there, don’t get me wrong, but he is one of the main options for me.

“Isak is definitely perfect for Liverpool’s profile of signings,

“A young player, not spending 100’s of millions – you’re going to spend £50-60m, definitely I would go for him.”

Can Liverpool land one of Europe’s best young strikers?

Isak netted 17 goals in 34 La Liga games last season, and excelled for Sweden at Euro 2020 this summer.

This season, the 6ft 3in ace has scored six times for his club.

Isak has been compared to the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robert Lewandowski and Thierry Henry in the past.
