Liverpool have been urged to sign Chelsea midfield duo Mason Mount and N'Golo Kante by former Reds goalkeeper Brad Friedel.
The Reds have been linked with a move for England star Mount with contract talks stalling with Chelsea, while Kante will be a free agent in the upcoming summer.
Friedel thinks Kante would be a perfect player under Jurgen Klopp if the Reds aren't able to get deals over the line for either Jude Bellingham or Frenkie De Jong.

Friedel told Betway : "Mount is an exceptional player and the only time it would be a no brainer for Klopp is if it works financially for Chelsea and Liverpool. The player has to want to make the move and the rumour that Klopp wants him has to be true.
"I think these moves for players, as good as Mount is, only work if everyone is in agreement for it. He's a very good player and he'd be good for a lot of things for Liverpool."
Despite his recent injury issues, Kante would make any side stronger and could be someone Liverpool look to bring in on a free transfer in the summer as the midfield revamp starts.
"I know deals for Frenkie De Jong and Jude Bellingham may be in talks, but if a player like N’Golo Kante comes along on a free then he's going to have to play," Friedel added. "Kante is really good, there's been some injury issues, sure, but he's outstanding.
"Klopp knows better than me but I think Kante will have a lot of interested clubs and he'd be an incredible signing for any of them. With regards to Bellingham, this kid has had such an incredible career in front of him and that will come down for the money. I'm so excited to see him at the World Cup."
