With every passing summer, Premier League clubs come under pressure to spend bigger and bolder than ever before. That will likely be the case in the coming transfer window, which will probably see the English top flight’s collective ‘cash splashing’ record obliterated for the umpteenth year in a row, and particularly at Liverpool.

After all, it’s almost common courtesy for boards to issue recent appointments like Jurgen Klopp an enormous transfer budget to begin remoulding the squad in their own image and there’s so much optimism surrounding the German gaffer at the moment that fans would likely kick up a fuss if he wasn’t handed sizeable funds to make signings of his own choosing.

But Leicester City have proved this season that bank balance doesn’t have to be the deciding factor in the Premier League table and whilst some of the transfer targets mentioned in the tabloids – such as Mario Gotze and Granit Xhaka – may leave Liverpool supporters fantasising, there’s plenty of promising talent already under Klopp’s nose.

So to prove Klopp doesn’t need to break the bank this summer – and perhaps more importantly, to prove Liverpool don’t need to administer another major squad overhaul – here’s a list of SIX players who could have greater impacts than new signings at Anfield next season.

JOE GOMEZ

Liverpool have been linked with a number of potential left-back signings ahead of the summer transfer window, most commonly FC Koln’s Jonas Hector, with the common consensus being that Jurgen Klopp will look to replace the somewhat mediocre Alberto Moreno.

But it’s been long forgotten that summer signing Joe Gomez enjoyed a phenomenal start to his Liverpool career, only to pick up a season-ending ACL injury in October. Comfortable on the ball, incredibly athletic and capable of playing anywhere across the backline, the 18-year-old offers Klopp a wealth of defensive depth.

DANNY INGS

Another promising youngster who unfortunately had his season cut short through injury, Danny Ings’ early showings for Liverpool saw him produce three goals in eight appearances across all competitions – until he unfortunately picked up an ACL injury in Jurgen Klopp’s first training session as Anfield gaffer.

A hard-working, nomadic and fluid forward who can convert chances or create them for others, the 23-year-old appears a good fit for Klopp’s high-pressing yet technical philosophy. So with fellow young frontman Divock Origi also showing great promise, Liverpool may not need to sign a direct replacement for Christian Benteke this summer.

MARKO GRUJIC

Much is expected of January signing Marko Grujic, who has been described as a crossbreed between Nemanja Matic and Reds legend Steven Gerrard. Indeed, the 20-year-old blends an imposing 6 foot 4 frame with a killer eye for goal, bagging five in 25 league outings for Red Star Belgrade this season.

The Merseysiders sealed a deal for the Serbian prodigy during the last transfer window but allowed him to return to Red Star Belgrade on loan for the rest of the campaign. With the Super League title now under his belt, the monolithic midfielder will be raring to go at Anfield next season.

LAZAR MARKOVIC

Many rushed to judge too soon regarding Lazar Markovic, including Liverpool, largely because of his rather overzealous £20million price-tag. The Serbia international endured a difficult debut season at Anfield and was subsequently sent out on loan to Fenerbahce last summer where he’s admittedly struggled to hit top gear.

But the attacker is still just 22 years of age and Jurgen Klopp appears to be a bit of a fan, insisting he’ll allow Markovic the chance to impress in pre-season. In terms of work-rate and speed, he certainly fits the German gaffer’s style of play, so in my opinion, he’s well worth another chance.

Sheyi Ojo

The current Liverpool squad notably lacks natural width, but promising youngster Sheyi Ojo could address that issue without the need to spend big in the transfer market. No doubt, the 18-year-old is still a diamond in the rough, with just 37 competitive appearances under his belt thus far.

But the England U19 is already producing. He bagged two goals and three assists in 17 outings (only five being starts) on loan at Wolves earlier in the season and has found a goal in the FA Cup and an assist in the Premier League since returning to Anfield in January. Blessed with great power and speed, the winger could be a real hit in the top flight if he’s given enough game-time.

JON FLANAGAN

Of all the young talents on this list, Jon Flanagan is the one I’m most excited about – which is an unusual thing to say about a full-back. Indeed, the 23-year-old was nothing short of phenomenal during the second half of the 2013/14 campaign, even making it into England’s provisional squad for the World Cup in Brazil.

After nearly two years of injury problems, the one-cap international made a comeback in January and has since worn the captain’s armband for the Reds in the Premier League – so Jurgen Klopp clearly rates the youngster highly. He’s another who could replace Alberto Moreno at left-back, or even dethrone resident No.2 Nathaniel Clyne – another underwhelming performer this season.
