'Klopp should come and get me!'

Akinfenwa, who has scored four goals in four games for League Two side Wycombe this season, believes Liverpool a one striker short of winning the lead, and is getting ready for a transfer call from Anfield.

Nicknamed 'The Beast', the strap striker has been impressed with Jurgen Klopp's side this season, but thinks they could benefit from a more imposing figure at the attacking end of the pitch.

"I think we're one striker away, I think we'll be immense for the first half of the season and blow up a bit in the second half but I think we'll challenge," Akinfenwa told Squawka.

"Next season, we will be contenders if we can get Virgil van Dijk and one striker. We're close."

Akinfenwa added: "Klopp should come and get me! I need pace around me and they have obscene pace up front with [Sadio] Mane, [Roberto] Firmino, [Mohamed] Salah. If you put me in there and get some crosses in the box I'd score goals.

"My manager [Gareth Ainsworth] knows I love Liverpool and if they ever came calling he'd have no problems with letting me go."

However, Wycombe do not seem so keen with the idea of letting the 35-year-old go, jokingly posting on their Twitter that "Klopp can do one!"
