Troy Deeney tells Liverpool they'll win the Premier League five years in a row if they complete one signing this summer

Former Watford striker Troy Deeney has claimed Liverpool will win the next five Premier League titles if they sign one player this summer.

Deeney, 36, registered 47 goals in 165 Premier League appearances for Watford between 2010 and 2021 before going on to become a coach and regular member of the panel on talkSPORT.

On Monday (April 28), Deeney weighed in with his take on Liverpool’s Premier League title-winning squad after the Reds were crowned champions following a convincing 5-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday (April 27).

The likes of Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk starred as Arne Slot saw his side secure the title on his first attempt.

However, the Reds' squad could still arguably be improved, and Deeney believes one signing would see the Reds pull away from their competitors.

“They’re linked with [Alexander] Isak as well - if they were to get that, just give them the title for the next five years if they get that fella,” Deeney said when speaking alongside Ally McCoist on talkSPORT.

Isak, 25, has scored 22 league goals in 31 appearances for Newcastle United this term and will likely attract the interest of several elite clubs come this summer.

The Swede is contracted to the Magpies until June 2028 and could even warrant a transfer fee of over £150m, according to various reports.

Deeney then went on to identify three other areas he believes Slot could bolster this summer.

“I can see them looking at a left-back,” Deeney added. “[Andrew] Robertson has been fantastic but unfortunately, there comes a time when you get moved, it’s just part and parcel of football.

“Probably another centre half because if one of the guys goes down, they are light in that situation.

“And I still think they need an extra body in midfield. They haven’t been lucky but nobody in that midfield three has been injured for a sustained period of time and if that was to happen then they are a little bit light after that.”

What has Alexander Isak said about his future?

Speaking to Swedish outlet Fotbollskanal earlier this year, Isak said: "There’s not much to say, really. I’ve commented on my situation and my security in Newcastle several times.

“It’s been written how much I love the city and the club, how well I feel there. I’m not thinking about the future.”

He added: “I just want to perform for Newcastle. Now we won the cup, but we want to finish strong and reach the Champions League games. That’s where my focus lies.”
