Former Liverpool defender issues blunt Joe Gomez transfer claim and World Cup warning

Former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson says Joe Gomez hasn't played enough football this season and should 'should move' in search of more game time.

The 24-year-old has played just 15 games this season totalling just over 700 minutes in all competitions so far. Both Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konate are the favoured partners for Van Dijk at the moment meaning some of Gomez' game time has come at right back.

The central defender missed the majority of the previous campaign through injury, but has been unable to reclaim a starting place under Jurgen Klopp. Johnson, who made 200 appearances for Liverpool, warns you cannot have a 'good career' if you're not playing regularly.
