Reds need reinforcements - Wark

Former Liverpool midfielder John Wark believes the Reds must sign at least two more players to mount a challenge for the Premier League title.

Manager Rafa Benitez has already signed Swiss defender Phillip Degen and a deal to buy Italian full-back Andrea Dossena is thought to be imminent.

"I think a good signing would be Robbie Keane if that comes off," Wark told BBC Radio Merseyside.

"But I still think they need another defender and another midfield player."

The former Scottish International made 105 appearances and scored 42 goals in his four year spell at the club between 1984 and 1988.

The defensive midfielder was brought to the club by Joe Fagan and was part of a squad that won two league titles, one FA Cup, one European Super Cup and one FA Charity Shield in his four seasons at Anfield.

Wark is aware the fans crave success and stressed the need to bring in reinforcements for this to be achieved.

"They still need two or three players to be where the Liverpool fans want them to be and that's winning the league," he added.
