Liverpool are set for a summer overhaul after finishing fifth in the Premier League last season 22 points behind Manchester City

Liverpool star Diogo Jota has made comments about the move that have put further pressure on club owner FSG to make summer signings.

The Portuguese striker is the latest player to urge owners Fenway Sports Group to spend big this summer following comments from teammates Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.

Since signing for Wolves in 2020, Jota has been part of the Liverpool squad that finished third and second in the Premier League before a disappointing fifth last season.

In an interview with FourFourTwo, Jota spoke of the need to “refresh the team” to improve on last season.

He said: ‘The last few years we’ve always been there [near the top] – three seasons with over 90 points, which is incredible.

It’s even more incredible not to win the championship with so many points. So I think this should be our goal, definitely do better than the season we just had and fight for the titles.

“You always need to renew your squad with new players. That’s what we’ve done, and if we stay together for a long time it’s better.

We weren’t there in the season we’ve just done – it’s the truth – but hopefully this has hit rock bottom and we can recover and try to fight for the titles again.

New Liverpool vice-captain Van Dijk has put pressure on a big summer of transfers by saying his side paid the price for a lack of available squad last season. The Reds acted quickly, signing Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister for an initial fee of £35m which will rise to a total of £55m.

While on international duty, Van Dijk hailed the signing and hoped there would be more “quality signings” to come. He said: “I think he will definitely be a huge asset and something we need to get back to where we want to be.”

“So it’s a good start to the transfer window and I hope we get more quality signings. But he’s definitely one of the players who can make the difference for us in the coming years.”

Liverpool have lost Roberto Firmino, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita this summer and defender Konate has also called for further reinforcements this summer. He added:

“We have to replace them. If we don’t replace them, what do we do? Are we short-handed and lack quality? We can’t play with young players at this level.”
