Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is eager for the club to sign players of "Fernando Torres' level" in order to win the Premier League title.
The 29-year-old believes that although Liverpool made progress last season in finishing runners up to Manchester United summer recruits are needed.
"We've finished the season without a trophy, which hurts," said Gerrard.
"How do we go to the next step? Get more players of Torres' level. He is a massive player for us."
The 25-year-old Spanish striker scored his 50th goal for the Reds on the final day of the league season and signed an improved contract with the Anfield outfit in May.
Torres also has 58 caps for his country and played a starring role when Spain won Euro 2008.
Gerrard, who believes Chelsea will be stronger next season after appointing Carlo Ancelotti as boss, insisted the title could head to Anfield for the first time since 1990 if manager Rafael Benitez is able to bring in the targets he wants.
"We are getting really close to becoming champions. Our next two or three signings as far as we are concerned are crucial to push on and try and go one better than this year," he stated.
"If we can keep Torres fit and add a little bit more quality to our squad we can become champions.
"Manchester United won the league because they had that spark coming off the bench with that little bit more strength in depth."
