Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore has urged the club to sign Tottenham trio Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Toby Alderweireld.

The Reds' season ended in heartbreak on Saturday night as Real Madrid ran out 3-1 winner in Kiev in the Champions League final.

Liverpool started on top but their attacking threat collapsed after Mohamed Salah was forced off injured after just half an hour.

Collymore pointed to a lack of strength in depth and wants Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group to back Jurgen Klopp in the transfer market with an audacious triple swoop.

He wrote in a column for the Daily Mirror: "For all of their promise in the second half of this season, Liverpool do not have the strength in depth of their two great rivals.”

"If the Reds are to close the gap, they need genuine A-listers as back-up. And I believe now is the time to strike.

"By reaching two European finals in three seasons, Klopp has shown he can manage. And now FSG have to demonstrate their commitment too by using the £75m-plus generated by this run and back their man in the transfer market.

"I am not talking about signing the likes of Andy Robertson – as good as he has been.

"I am talking about wandering into White Hart Lane, plonking £150m on the table in front of Daniel Levy and saying: 'I'll give you that for Christian Eriksen, Toby Alderweireld and Dele Alli.'

"I would still like the owners to give the green light for three or four marquee signings."
