And Heskey, who scored 39 Premier League goals in 150 appearances for the Merseysiders, thinks Jurgen Klopp will dip into the market in pursuit of another striker who can offer another option in behind the defence but also believes these kind of players are rare in the Premier League.Speaking to betoclock.com, Heskey said: “Liverpool will want to sign another striker in the summer. “Divock Origi gives them another option to up front, but they still need another top striker instead of Firmino.“Theyll be looking to sign a player that can offer the option in behind the opposition defence.“However, you dont really see players who can do that in the Premier League, apart from Marcus Rashford for Manchester United.”3
