Despite his advanced years, Lewandowski has remained prolific in Spain, netting 12 goals to lead Barcelona’s charge toward the Spanish league title this season. His current contract at the Spotify Camp Nou is set to expire at the end of the season, which could make a potential summer move financially viable for the Anfield club.
Expanding on why the veteran Pole fits the bill, Cole added: "Someone like Robert Lewandowski at 37 years old for example. He might fancy the challenge and also might fancy the fact that he still thinks he’s better than Isak and can get in the team. He could easily play 30 games.
"There’s that, or you go and spend decent money on a really exciting 17-18 year old. You are however still gambling on whether they are capable of producing the goods as a second string to Isak. A difficult decision for Liverpool either way, but they are going to have to go out and get someone."
