Brazil star to 'bang the door down' for Liverpool starting spot if he makes transfer

Former Red Glen Johnson believes Leeds United's Raphinha is 'good enough' to break into the Liverpool starting XI.

The Merseyside club have been heavily linked with the Brazilian in recent times and although their interest is well documented, it's yet to go beyond that. He's under contract until 2024 but has been tipped to leave Elland Road this summer.

Barcelona currently lead the race for Raphinha's signature, although Arsenal and Chelsea have also previously been linked. Johnson, however, says the 25-year-old could rival the likes of Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz for a starting spot under Jurgen Klopp.
