Liverpool fans are rushing to social media with the same message for John Henry to sign Kylian Mbappe after he promised heavy transfer spending this summer.
Liverpool owner John W. Henry is receiving a barrage of the same idea on social media after he spoke to Sky Sports about transfer investment this summer. The message from the fans is clear: Announce Mbappe!
Speaking to Kaveh Solhekol the American owner revealed that winning the Champions League final against Spurs tomorrow evening will not make up for missing out on the Premier League to Man City by a point this season.

The club will not hope for the best or simply presume they can conjure up another 97 point season next year. They are going to spend and invest in the first team squad. This is the first confirmation we have had from inside the club about their summer intentions in the transfer market.
Last year Fabinho was signed only three days after the Champions League final so we could see news of a big deal, that we know very little about now, as early as next Tuesday.
That has sent fans into immediate speculation about who will be arriving with many naming Matthijs de Ligt, Timo Werner and Memphis Depay as players they’d love to see leaning at Melwood.
However a huge wave of fans have set their sights on one of the biggest names in world football: Kylian Mbappe.
The French phenomenon has not been happy at PSG ad they have cakewalked to two Ligue 1 titles but fallen embarrassingly short in Europe.
That has led to scores of Liverpool fans saying “Announce Mbappe” to John Henry and Liverpool journalists.
Oh and sign Reus!

Henry is used to this kind of fandom. He joked about it in 2014 by tweeting “Oh and sign Reus” after he had received that request a million times from Reds. We’ve just upped our sights from Marco Reus to Kylian Mbappe!
