Darren Bent begged Curtis Jones to dazzle for Liverpool, but warned that his star players would fall asleep on their laurels if the team did not strengthen in that window.
Speaking to Russell Edge, assistant editor of Football Insider, England striker with 13 international matches delivered his verdict when Liverpool beat Leeds United 4-3 on Saturday.
Jurgen Klopp added his team to side Kostas Tsimikas, who won the Premier League last season with an 18-point lead.
The Reds also signed a signing in the January movement window, Red Bull Salzburg ahead of Takumi Minamino.
However, they have a healthy academy with Curtis Jones from the bank in the premier league first game on Saturday.
And although Bent praised the 19-year-old, he still believes Liverpool want to make more signings.
He told Football Insider: “They brought Curtis Jones and he looked wonderful and I think he’ll be one of the most productive players in the future.
“But I would have liked to see them add a little more strength in intensity so that they can offer industrial quality for quality.
“I know about the role that is a very strong team, but I would have liked to see them bring one or two more just to remain the ones with the shirt right now on their toes, instead of padding and resting on their laurels. .
“Alex Ferguson said the most productive time to strengthen was when we were at the top. “
On Saturday it was Jones’ seventh Premier League match for Liverpool and has played 15 times in all competitions.
The midfielder scored 3 goals for his training years at the club, adding a memorable 20-yard goal in Liverpool’s 1-0 win over his local rival Everton in the FA Cup last season.
