Glen Johnson has tipped Liverpool transfer targets Alexis Mac Allister and Mason Mount to succeed should they complete moves to Anfield.
The Reds have earmarked the Argentina and England internationals as possible additions in the summer as Jurgen Klopp looks to strengthen his midfield ranks. At the end of this season, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner and Naby Keita will all depart after their contracts expire.
However, competition has emerged for the Brighton & Hove Albion and Chelsea men. Manchester City are said to be monitoring MacAllister while Manchester United have said to have lodged a £55m bid for Mount who, according to a report last night, favours a switch to Old Trafford should he leave Stamford Bridge.
