The Wycombe Wanderers striker, a life-long Liverpool fan, has scored four goals in four games for the League Two side this season, and is already getting ready for a transfer call from Anfield.

Nicknamed ‘The Beast’, the burly forward is impressed with Jurgen Klopp’s side this season, but believes they could do with a more imposing figure at the top 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 Mane, Firmino, 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.”

Wycombe do not appear as willing to part with Akinfenwa as the 35-year-old believes, though, jokingly posting on social media that “Klopp can do one!”
