Jamie Carragher believes Liverpool Football Club need to make seven new signings.

The Reds finished second in the Premier League last season, but they have never been in the race this term and are battling for a place in the top four.

A first round UEFA Champions League exit has added to their misery, and Carragher has told Rafael Benitez he needs to make big changes in the summer for any improvement.

"The only way to make this season positive is by achieving both targets, finish top four and win the Europa League. Even if we do, next season we need to move on,” he told the Sunday Times.

“We probably need two or three players who will go into the team and make an impact every week, and three or four more to beef up the squad. We probably need six or seven signings."
