Liverpool told to sign 'Europe's best striker' to replace Roberto Firmino

Jerzy Dudek wants Liverpool to replace Roberto Firmino with Europe's 'best striker' Robert Lewandowski as he enters the final year of his contract at Bayern Munich.

Lewandowski has stated that he will not be signing a new deal with the German giants with a transfer to Barcelona apparently on the cards for the striker.

That surprises former Liverpool and Real Madrid goalkeeper Dudek, who believes a move to Anfield, and a chance to work with his former Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp, would be best for the 33-year-old.

Dudek told Marca: “He has been the best striker in Europe for many years and the last 10 seasons at Bayern have been incredible, with eight championships and I think six times top scorer in the Bundesliga.

“He is an incredible player and I am surprised that Barcelona are interested in him. I think the best thing for him would be to go to the Premier League, because he is strong, fast and, in my opinion, where he would fit best is in Klopp’s Liverpool.

“I know that Firmino is there, but he is not always one hundred percent and I think that for Lewandowski it would be the best scenario.”
