Liverpool have been urged to sign Harry Kane to keep up with Manchester City by former player Stan Collymore.
In his latest column for the Daily Mirror, the 50-year-old states FSG need to pull their finger out this summer if the Reds are to keep pace with their rivals.
Collymore muses that if City buy a player like Erling Haaland, then Liverpool need to go bold and sign the ‘next Robert Lewandowski or even put in a bid for Harry Kane‘.

There is no doubt about the England star’s quality, but there is a question of whether the Spurs vice-captain would even fit into Klopp’s playing style at Anfield.
Roberto Firmino – and any other forward elected to lead the line for Liverpool – is tasked with tirelessly pressuring the opposition defence into making errors.
While Kane’s goal-scoring credentials are more accomplished than that of our Brazilian No.9, he may not be a good systematic fit for the Premier League champions.
In terms of ‘the next Lewandowski‘ – that would be phenomenal, but based on form that’d appear to be the heavily sought after Haaland!
